Where to Buy Hampstead Institute Products

The produce, flowers, and herbs grown at the Hampstead and Downtown Farms are sold to customers throughout the River Region to improve access to fresh healthy food and provide income for the Hampstead Institute.  While the Institute is a non-profit, our farms seek to be self-sustaining and the sale of the produce helps us achieve that goal.  We use only sustainable techniques for producing our food.  

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program
Members of the CSA buy a subscription to the farm early in the year, which helps to pay for the seeds and farm equipment needed to get the season rolling. Additional revenue from the CSA program directly supports our farms and staff, helping us to sustain our vision of urban agriculture and nutrition education. For 25 weeks, beginning in the Spring and running into the Fall, CSA members visit the Hampstead farm site or the Downtown Farm to receive a weekly box of in-season organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs freshly harvested from both our farms. Each box contains a family-sized variety of produce valued at $20 as well as a newsletter complete with healthy recipes and updates about farm life and events. The Hampstead Institute encourages a strong sense of community investment, hosting a Spring CSA potluck supper and family-friendly volunteer opportunities over the summer. A limited number of work/trade positions are available each season. If you are interested in being contacted next year regarding our 2012 CSA program, please contact anne@hampsteadinstitute.org.
