CSA seasons typically run from late spring through early fall, but a number of farms in the state are continuing their programs through the late fall and winter, with some even operating year-round.
Community-supported agriculture lets people subscribe to a farm for a season, receiving a weekly basket of produce. Most CSAs ask that members pay for the season upfront, but some accept weekly or monthly payments. Some require that members work a small number of hours on the farm during growing season, and some trade the fresh produce in exchange for help with harvesting or deliveries.
Buying a farm share is a sustainable way to help farmers with early season start-up costs, and secures a market for fresh produce. Here are a few CSAs in New Hampshire that offer winter shares, according to localharvest.org:
