Hello! 

Holmes Farm is now taking CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) memberships for the upcoming vegetable/fruit growing season. Holmes Farm is an 18 acre certified organic cranberry farm with blueberries, CSA, and farmstand and is located a quarter mile from the ocean in Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Holmes Farm is undergoing extensive renovations and infrastructure improvements and is building a farm to adapt to climate change. We are supporting our local food economy and using green technology to be efficient and sustainable. CSA members pay at the onset of the growing season for a share of the anticipated harvest. Once harvesting begins, you will receive weekly shares of vegetables and fruit, herbs, and cut flowers. In the early season (June) a share will consist of greens, peas, cucumbers, radish's, scallions, lettuce, etc..... In July the shares start including tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, blueberries, carrots, onions, potatoes, watermelon and more. As the season progresses into September you will get fall items such as kale, pumpkins, squash, potatoes, onions, shallots, carrots and more root vegetables. All of the vegetables are grown organically and are delicious and abundant!! 

Even though we are located in Plymouth, this year we are doing a weekly drop off of shares to Falmouth at the Technology Park off Thomas Landers Rd. The drop off will be on Wednesdays from 4-6 pm. The cost of the main season share, which runs from June to October, is $525.00 and consists of 18 weeks. The cost of both the main season and fall season share which runs from June through December is $685.00 and consists of 24 weeks. Last year we sold out of shares but we are expanding and are taking additional memberships. If you would like to reserve your spot, please fill out the attached form and mail a $100 deposit (or full payment) to: 

The Edible Yard 
179 Little Sandy Pond Road 
Plymouth, MA 02360 

Checks can be made out to The Edible Yard. When we receive your payment/deposit we will be in touch with you to confirm your spot. Similar to last year we expect to be sold out fairly quickly so if you would like to join please do so as soon as possible. If you have any questions regarding the CSA or anything else please do not hesitate to contact me directly (781-987-4096 or csa at theedibleyard.com ). 

Thanks so much and looking forward to an incredible growing season!
