Order a Summer Share of Fresh Fruit

Have you been yearning to grow fresh fruits and vegetables but you don’t have the time or space?

The next best thing might just be to buy a share of fruits and/or vegetables through Community Supported Agriculture. Northstar Orchards in Cochranville is a local CSA that is now offering both vegetable and fruit shares for the Summer 2012 Season.

Here’s the interesting part for those of us who live around Exton. Northstar Orchards offers fruit pick ups in Eagle! Unfortunately, their vegetable shares for pick up in Eagle have sold out.

A fruit share starts on August 1st and runs 12-15 weeks. A 12-week fruit share costs $235 and a 15-week fruit share is $285. Pickup can be made from the farm in Cochranville or there is the opportunity to pick up in Eagle, above Exton at a weekly assigned time.

A vegetable share begins on June 1st and runs for 22 weeks. A vegetable share runs $500 and you would pick up every Thursday from the farm in Cochranville.

You can learn more about what is included in the fruit or vegetable shares, how pick ups are arranged, and apply for a membership through Northstar Orchards.
