About the Farm
Background
First Light Farm CSA, located in Hamilton, Massachusetts, has been providing community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares for years. Known for their permanent beds and conservation tillage, they offer a unique blend of CSA and farmers market experiences. The farm has adapted to modern needs by offering virtual ordering and safe pick-up options at various sites.
Practices
The farm employs conservation tillage and maintains permanent beds to ensure soil health and sustainability. Their field houses enable year-round food production, allowing them to offer fresh produce even in the off-season. The focus on local sourcing extends to partnerships with other local farms and producers, ensuring a diverse array of high-quality products.
The Rest
In addition to vegetables, the farm offers a variety of local cheeses, seafood, breads, meats, pickles, eggs, crackers, jams, jellies, honey, and syrup. They have recently partnered with Essex County Mushroom Farm to provide a weekly share of various mushroom varieties. The farm also offers special seasonal items like holiday roasts and baked goods, and they are open to adding new pick-up locations, including homes and workplaces.
