Types of Shares

Our Vegetable Farm Share is available year-round, seasonally, and monthly.

You can register for Single-Season Farm Shares (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter); Multi-Season Farm Shares (Peak-Season, Four-Season); or Three-Year Farm Shares at a bundled discount.

And, NEW this year, you can choose from our menu of Monthly CSA Subscriptions, which are set up for monthly payments which auto-renew, but can be paused or canceled anytime for added convenience and flexibility.

We also offer a variety of Specialty Shares which feature specific crops like mushrooms, corn & fruit, extra tomatoes, or sunflowers. Our Dahlia Share marks a new chapter of specialty cut flower production here on the farm.

Our Community Sponsored Farm Shares provide weekly Vegetable Farm Shares to local families facing food insecurity in Greater Boston and NYC.

Our Employer Sponsored Farm Share program is customized for local organizations interested in providing a weekly box of Siena Farms' vegetables to their employees' homes or workplace, as a healthy, simple, and delicious wellness benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: A year-round CSA in New England? What does that look like?

A: 2025 will be our twentieth growing season as a CSA farm. Ten years ago, we challenged ourselves and our members to take our seasonal CSA program to the next level: year-round Farm Shares. With creative use of winter cold storage and greenhouse production, we’re now able to distribute our Farm Shares 48 out of 52 weeks each year.

Our Farm Shares contain a balanced selection of the best vegetables our fields have to offer each week. Our Monthly, Single-Season and Multi-Season "Classic" Vegetable Farm Shares are half-bushel boxes (approximately 9x9x13 inches), weigh between 8-12 lbs. depending on the season, and are packed to the brim with an average of 8-12 different items each week. Our "Small" Vegetable Farm Shares are packed in third-bushel boxes and include an average of 5-8 types of veggies, totaling between 5-8 lbs. of produce each week. Below are descriptions and examples of the types of veggies and other local products in each season of our CSA.

• Spring: A combination of our own produce — greens from our greenhouses and hearty storage crops in the early spring; fresh mushrooms from our caves; fresh crops from our fields later in the spring such as green garlic, baby salad greens, radishes, herbs, etc. — as well as local pantry items sourced from our favorite farmers and producers across New England. Pantry items include favorites such as fresh bread from Nashoba Brook Bakery in Concord; Karma Coffee beans roasted just down the road from the farm; preserved and pickled summertime fruits and veggies from local farms; dry beans from Maine, maple syrup from Vermont, and wildflower honey from our friends at Boston Honey Company. As a “Pantry Share,” it is inspired by the many talented producers who supply their artisanal foods to our Boston farmstores year-round, to help satisfy our spring cravings for eating local food, grown and prepared with love.

• Summer and Autumn (Peak Season): Here’s a look at some of the produce our customers can expect in their Farm Share boxes at three different times in the summer and fall.

• Early Summer Share: Napa cabbage, arugula, spinach, spring carrots, fresh mint, greenhouse cucumbers, summer squash, baby bac choi, scallions, spring beets, head lettuce, garlic scapes.

• Late Summer Share: Heirloom tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, eggplant, field cucumbers, hot peppers, sweet peppers, fresh onions, head lettuce, zucchini, sweet corn, cured garlic, blue oyster mushrooms.

• Autumn Share: Rainbow carrots, butternut squash, watermelon radishes, Tuscan kale, cabbage, leeks, escarole, head lettuce, broccolini, cauliflower, spinach.

• Winter: Our Winter Pantry Farm Shares are full of deep-winter vegetables, picked fresh in late autumn when they have reached peak quality from repeated frosts and then packed away safe and sound in cold storage where they last in pristine condition for months. Our winter storage crops include our favorite orange carrots and rainbow carrots, watermelon radishes, kohlrabi, onions, beets, Macomber turnips, green and purple cabbages, rainbow daikon, winter squash, and more. Our Winter Shares also include fresh mushrooms from our caves, delicate baby salad greens from our heated greenhouses, and sturdy cooking greens from our unheated high tunnels. Plus, like our Spring Pantry Farm Shares, a weekly loaf of fresh-baked bread and surprise pantry items from our favorite local producers.

Q: Can I customize the weekly contents of my Farm Share?

A: At this time we do not have the systems in place to customize Farm Shares around food allergies or individual preferences. But, we will do our very best to maximize the quality and selection of produce in your Farm Share each week, and we hope you enjoy the weekly adventure of cooking up what is truly your share of the farm's harvest!

Q: I want to give a Farm Share as a gift, can this be done?

A: Absolutely! Simply purchase the share with your contact info at checkout, and shoot us a quick email to let us know it’s a gift, and how we can help you present it.

Q: Does Siena Farms have any work requirements or Pick-Your-Own like some CSA’s do?

A: Nope! We take care of all the planting, growing and harvesting. However, we normally schedule a couple of large-group volunteer harvest days in the fall to help pull in our fall/winter storage crops (like carrots!), which is a ton of fun, a ton of help to the farm, and a nice opportunity to share in the simple pleasures of harvesting beautiful vegetables. Meantime, as CSA members you’re always welcome to come visit and check out the fields and crops. Just give us a heads up that you’re on your way if it’s not on a CSA pickup day, and enjoy!

Q: How does the e-newsletter work?

A: All members will receive our weekly newsletter by email, regardless of their pickup/delivery schedule. That is, if you’re a FLEX member during an off-week, you will still see the newsletter in your inbox, as we’ve heard feedback that it can be helpful to receive it every week for recipes and general farm news. If you’d like to add on friends and family who are enjoying the share with you, just let us know, we’re happy to add them to the newsletter list.

Q: What happens to my Farm Share if Siena Farms experiences a natural disaster such as flooding or drought during the season that wipes out all of its crops?

A: Someday, that could happen, as we saw happen to farms in Vermont in 2011 after Hurricane Irene; to many farms across New England during the Great Drought of 2016 and another extreme drought in 2022; and don't forget the widespread flooding rains of the summer of 2023! One of the truly progressive aspects of the CSA model, however, is that customers share the risks and the rewards of each growing season with their farmers, in a very direct way. During a truly challenging season, we may need to supplement our own harvest with crops sourced from neighboring farms, or the diversity and quality of our crops may be diminished, or in the most extreme situations, overall quantity may be diminished. In the meantime, we’ll do our very best to prepare for the variety of challenges the changing climate will bring our way, and work to grow you the very tastiest produce we can every season, for many years to come!

Q: Is there a way for me to view my past Farm Share orders?

A: Yes! You will get an emailed receipt for every order you submit; make sure to check your promotions tab in case it gets filtered there. Simply click the View Order button in your email to see your registration details.
