Who We Are & How We Grow

The New Leaf CSA has been serving the Brattleboro area since 2002. Elizabeth Wood, the farmer, uses the best possible growing methods for protecting human health and the environment. No chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are used. No genetically modified crops are grown. You are encouraged to call and/or visit the farm for more information about production methods.

CSA members get their food within 24 hours of when it's harvested. Crop varieties are selected for flavor and climate suitability, not shipping ability and shelf life. This creates exceptional taste and nutritional value.

Seasonal Highlights

The New Leaf CSA grows over 35 different vegetables as well as flowers, herbs and melons. Each week you'll receive a diverse mix of those crops that are in season. While this list does not include everything, these are some of the expected highlights:

• Late MAY to JUNE: Mesclun mix, asparagus, succulent greens for salad and stir fry, radishes and peas.
• JULY: Baby beets, crisp carrots, cucumbers, summer squash, green beans, and herbs. By late July, if we're lucky, we'll have tomatoes.
• AUGUST: The July crops continue and peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, and sweet corn* all arrive.
• SEPTEMBER: Cool nights invite the return of early greens, while warm days keep the August crops coming.
• OCTOBER to early NOVEMBER: Potatoes, leeks, winter squash, pumpkins, carrots, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Frost ends the summer vegetables, while improving the flavor of those remaining.

*Sweet corn is from other local organic farms, all other vegetables are our own.
