Community Supported Agriculture at Quail Hill Farm Over two
hundred “summer share” families come to the Farm twice a
week—from June into November—to dig carrots, cut lettuce or
greens, pluck peppers and eggplant, and to harvest tomatoes,
potatoes, melons, cosmos, garlic, basil and dill, and many
others among the over 500 varieties of vegetables, fruits and
flowers planted each year. Summer harvest days are Saturdays and
Tuesdays, from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. Those who join for a “winter
share” receive root vegetables, alliums, eggs, and our
greenhouse greens, from Thanksgiving into March. A central part
of our mission at Quail Hill is to educate the public concerning
such issues as soil health, our seed supply, food security, and
sustainable, organic farming practices. School groups and
children of all ages visit Quail Hill to help with seeding,
transplanting, and harvesting. Connecting people with land in
this way builds a community that will appreciate and support the
stability, integrity, and beauty of the bio
