Shop Local! Get a CSA!

Litchfield County CSA

Community Supported Agriculture or CSA, are abundant in Litchfield County. This is a win win for you the consumer and the farmers in our area. You get a weekly produce package as part of your "share". Locally grown and seasonal produce! What could be better than that

Contact a local farm near you to see if they have shares available. Many farms offer limited shares

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): A CSA is a business model whereby members commit financially to a farm, typically at the beginning of a season, in exchange for an anticipated ‘member share’ of the farm’s product.

CSA Members - A member can be an individual, family, business, etc.

Cost of a Member Share (sometimes marketed as a ‘full’ or ‘half’ share) is intended to cover the costs of the farm operation.  The price can range from $15 to $50 per week depending on the size and contents.

Up Front Payment - Typically, a partial up front payment is needed for a CSA share at the start of a growing season, so the farmer has essentially sold the harvest before planting has even begun. Full payment if usually required a few months before the first pick up.

CSA Pick Up - Members usually pick up their weekly share at the farm or at a centralized location (such as a business office). Most CSAs rely on weekly distribution, but the frequency is entirely up to the farmer who established this in the CSA contract.

CSA Contract - Many CSA farms use a member contract, which is an informal agreement that farmers use to explain their CSA to potential members. The contract usually includes information about the farm’s growing methods, products, schedule, and costs.

Sharing Risk - Most farmers ask their CSA members to share in the risk of crop failure due to weather damage, pests, etc. In other words, if there is a particular crop failure, members may be expected to understand that this is a usual hazard of farming and the missing product will not be replaced.

Add-Ons - In addition to the standard box or bag of veggies in a CSA share, it is increasingly common that a farm will offer additional agricultural products of their own or from other farms to purchase such as fruit, flowers, eggs, meat, popcorn, syrup, bread, and cheese.

Held at Lime Rock Park among the Litchfield County Hills, or what is described as "the Western Highlands of Connecticut," the games offer family fun and festivities for Scots and Scots-At-Heart.

The Round Hill Highland Games are the third oldest games of its type in the United States. Since 2016, the games have been held at Lime Rock Park. The original location was at the estate of Charles A. Moore on Round Hill Road in Greenwich, CT. At that time, they were held on the fourth of July for the estate workers who were mostly Scottish Americans. Since its beginning in 1923, the event has grown in popularity and today, is one of the most anticipated Scottish Highland Games held in the Northeast. Participants and visitors come from all over the country to enjoy the food, fun and festivities. Experience Scottish heritage through clans, heavy athletes, bands, pipers, drummers and drum majors, and so much more, including:

• Amateur Heavyweight Competitions
• Scottish Food & Drink
• Scottish Merchandise, Jewelry and Clothing
• Clan and Heritage Society Gatherings
• Piping and Drumming Competitions
• Children’s Scottish Sporting Competitions
• Adult Kilted Mile Run

The Games are open to the public, and are held rain or shine. Tickets are $10 if purchased in advance on Round Hill's Facebook page and $15 at the gate. Kids enter for free if they are wearing a kilt and carrying a toy sword or dressed as Merida from the Disney movie "Brave." All proceeds are collected by the Round Hill organization for benevolence and to preserve Scottish heritage.
