Description

Alambria Springs Farm CSA and specialty market farm grows over 200 varieties of vegetables and herbs resulting in a high quality and diverse weekly share offering. We offer two share sizes to better fit share holders needs, both of which can be split with a partner. Our shares are either picked up at the farm or boxed and delivered to a location near you. Our Full Share is a full bushel box of vegetables each week, which feeds a family of up to five people.Our Couples Share offers 3/4 of a bushel box of vegetables each week .This share is equivalent with most standard sized shares offered by other CSA's. Early in the season the boxes will be filled with mostly greens and lighter produce items such as radishes and scallions and will increase in weight and variety as the season progresses.

They typically include: salad greens, cooking greens(kale, spinach, chard, collards, beet greens),cabbage, root crops(beets, carrots, garlic, shallots, onions, potatoes),fruiting crops(tomatoes,peppers,eggplant,cucumbers, sum er and winter squash etc.), and culinary herbs(dill, basil, cilantro, oregano, chives, parsley). Shareholders are invited to the farm to pick their own U-pick crops when in season such as, peas, green beans, fava beans, cherry tomatoes, cut flowers and some culinary herbs. We offer some discounts off the price for several "workshares" each year. In addition, we are now accepting EBT payments for our CSA program.

Alambria Springs Farm is a diversified vegetable and livestock farm in Lebanon Ny. Our mission is to implement sustainable food production practices creating enlivened foods that nourish the body, spirit, and the environment. We commit to incorporating Biodynamic practices by following the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Biodynamic preparations are applied to the soil and the plants to enrich and enliven both. We are committed to standards and quality that go beyond the "organic' label by respecting the land and its intricate and diverse living systems. We produce quality food that is in hamony with nature, that all people can afford, so that both people and the environment benefit. We currently grow over 200 varieties of vegetables on approximately 12 acres for our CSA and upscale restaurants.
