CSA Subscription City Shares -
Reestablishing a Healthy Connection Between
City and Farm
Herrcastle Farm forms a new and direct link between consumers and producers,
reconnecting non-farmers with the land and the farmers that grow their food.
Like a traditional CSA you subscribe for a season of high quality, safe,
farm fresh fruit and vegetables, just like you subscribe to a newspaper
or magazine.
Weekly, during the months of June through October, you will pick up a bag
of vegetables and fruit at the Melrose Park House, next to the Melrose Park
train station. Shares will feature an assortment of seasonal vegetables
and fruit harvested and picked on the farm. The weekly share will be 6-10
items (depending on what is in season).
Each subscription city share provides enough fresh vegetables and fruit
for two adults. If you are concerned that a whole share is more than your
household can use, consider splitting a farm share with a neighbor, friend,
or co-worker.
Herrcastle Farm is located in Southern Lancaster County. The farm is owned
and operated by Ed & Judy Herrmann since 1985.
