get your veggies at Cleenland with a CSA

We’re super excited to partner with one of our Central Square neighbors, Mohammed Hannan, owner-farmer at Hannan Agro Farms to offer a CSA pick-up at Cleenland!! Info on the shares, the farm, and sign-up below!

You may be wondering, what’s a CSA share? CSA stands for community supported agriculture. Farming has a lot of up-front costs (seeds, fixing equipment, labor for soil prep, planting, weeding, etc.) and risk (who knows what the weather will be, bugs, etc.!) The community benefits from all that up-front costs and risk-taking by the farmer with the produce we enjoy later in the summer and fall. A CSA is a way for us to share the load. We help with the up-front costs by paying for produce at the beginning of the season and we share the risk by taking whatever grows!

our farmer friend, Mohammed from Hannan Agro Farms!

Traditional CSA Shares

Support your local farmer in the beginning of the season, then pick up a box of delicious, nutritious produce every week for 17 weeks, June 20-October 17.

Full CSA share: $595
Great for families, roommates, picklers, etc. Expect fewer vegetables at the beginning which will increase by the number and variety as the season progresses toward the bounty of late summer and fall.

Half CSA share: $340
Same diversity of varieties as the full share, but fewer in quantity — great for solo or veggie-light households.

Freedom Share

Also supports your local farmer in the beginning of the season, but with more choice of what’s in your box. June 20- October 30. Only 7 shares left.

Freedom share: $200 and up ($35 minimum/week)
Pay your total share price up front, then select from available produce each week on Hannah Agro’s facebook page (minimum $35 worth/week.) Your week’s total will be subtracted from your original payment. Order by Thursday at noon for weekend pickup.

$200 = $200 freedom credits

$400 = $410 freedom credits

$600 = $630 freedom credits

$800 = $860 freedom credits

$1000 = $1100 freedom credits
