Tucker House's Bunching Onions CSA

What is a CSA?

In a CSA, a family or group of people buys a “share” in a farmer's crop in the early spring, and picks up (or has delivered) their box of fresh seasonal produce once a week from mid-June to the early October.

In this cooperative community venture, the farmer gains by getting the money when s/he needs it most – at planting time – and is assured of an income during the growing season. The consumer gains by getting a fairly-priced, ever-changing abundance of fresh, safe, healthy vegetables and herbs throughout the growing season. The environment benefits too, because organic food is grown in a manner that prioritizes the health of the land, the community and your family. No insecticides, herbicides, fungicides or artificial fertilizers are used. Wasteful packaging and transportation pollution are also reduced.

Bunching Onions CSA

Since 2004, Tucker House has been operating Bunching Onions CSA (BOCSA). This program currently has approximately 40 participants who get weekly or bi-weekly baskets (known as a "share") of the produce grown in the Tucker House gardens.

One share costs $594 + $54 delivery for 18 weeks.
