Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

What's a CSA?

At the supermarket, only three to twenty cents of every dollar you spend on food makes it back to the farmer who grew it, and the food travels an average of 1,300 miles to reach the consumer, often involving very low pay for agricultural workers.  

CSA programs connect producers and consumers in a different, more mutually beneficial way that supports local communities and the environment. A CSA membership is the easiest, most delicious way to know where and how your food is grown. CSA members support farmers by purchasing food shares of their harvest before the agricultural season starts. With the money from your advance payment, farmers are in better positions to buy the seeds, supplies, and labor needed to grow and harvest the produce that goes to you.  

Why Choose New Entry's CSA?

Instead of all the produce in your CSA share (or box) coming from one farm, New Entry aggregates and distributes produce to customers that comes from more than 30 different local and small-scale farms. Your purchase of a CSA share allows us to continue training beginning farmers, providing them with access to new markets, and allows us to bring fresh and nutritious produce to underserved communities through our Food Access programs.  

We offer flexibility!

Throughout the 20-week growing season from June through October in Massachusetts, New Entry CSA members have the options of traditional or custom "CSA Your Way" weekly share of freshly harvested produce, and can choose between a full CSA season, 1/2 season, or join in at any time for pro-rated cost. 

CSA pickup is available in Beverly and other greater Boston locations, along with home delivery available in the North Shore.

Members also receive regular newsletters with a list of the upcoming share contents, recipes, updates from our programs, and more! 

Our CSA is SNAP/HIP eligible. 

CSA Options

New Entry offers multiple CSA options to offer the most flexibility for you! 

Customers have the choice of signing up for 10 or 20 weeks during the growing season and choosing between a traditional farm share box for the best value or choose your own produce each week with our CSA Your Way program. 

Traditional Farm Share Box

We select our best seasonal produce for you each week. This option gives you the best value! 
 

Each week we take the hassle out of shopping and pick out the best local vegetables that are in season. This share is for those who enjoy receiving a wide variety of new and exciting produce! You can opt in at any time – we will pro-rate the price of the box to reflect the number of boxes you actually receive.

We recommend one share for 2 adults. 

If for any reason you need to cancel, your boxes will be pro-rated to reflect the actual number you received.
