Our Vegetable CSA
Early summer boxes.
During the height of our abundance, Giant Journey Farm offers boxes filled with fresh, hand-grown vegetables that you pick up at the farm.
CSA shares are now only available to those who apply through the NOFA-VT Farm Share program.
If you would like to apply for the Farm Share program, please visit their website. If you would like to donate to our scholarship fund, you can write a check to Giant Journey Farm with "donation" in the memo line, or make a tax-deductible donation through nofavt.org/farmshare/donation (make sure to choose Farmshare in the 'Campaign' field and write 'Giant Journey Farm' in the notes).
Our farm works mainly on a Community Cooperative model. We’re working hard to return to the original intention of the CSA (community supported agriculture) where folks come together as a community to ensure access to healthy food as well as healthy lifeways for those growing that food.
If you’re interested in becoming a shareholder or collective member but would like to see what its all about first, you can reach out to visit the farm and/or order one box at a time, but we can’t guarantee availability each week since priority needs to go to our members, shareholders, and community partners and we may not have week-to-week boxes available.

what’s in a box?
Our boxes come in one sizes valued at $22.
The boxes typically include: one bunches of greens, one root vegetables (carrot, beet, radish, turnip, etc), two seasonal vegetables (tomato, cucumber, squash, broccoli, etc), and a pint of fruit as available (typically berries).

additional cSA Share options
We now offer the convenience of automatically adding meat, eggs, herbs, and/or flowers to your weekly box of produce. Not only is it easier to get your shopping done, you can benefit from a reduced rate by bundling these items to you CSA share!
Want to make it a half-share? We understand for smaller households a whole dozen eggs or a whole broiler chicken every week could be hard to manage. Let us know if you need a half share option.
Rabbit
Comes as a whole rabbit. $90 per share period ($18/week). Depending on seasonal availability, we may only offer meat bi-weekly (your total will be adjusted).
Eggs
A dozen chicken eggs each week. $25 per share period ($5/week).
herbs
Two bunches of fresh herbs each week. $25 per share period ($5/week).
flowers
A large bouquet of seasonal flowers each week with information about the edible, medicinal, and native varieties for $35 ($7 per week).
Payments
CSA shares will only be available to those applying through NOFA’s Farm Share program.
We are now authorized to accept EBT! (Please note EBT shareholders may only pay in two-week increments. Please indicate in your order that you intend to use EBT.)
We also accept cash, check, and Venmo (@Kendra-Dias-2) or PayPal (giantjourneyfarm@gmail.com).
We ask that you determine the amount you need to pay when ordering. But we’re happy to figure out the amount if you run into trouble. Just shoot us an email or call.
If not paid in full, a 50% deposit is due one week before shares begin, remaining payments will be split evenly over the course of each week unless otherwise arranged.
We also take work hours (and in some select cases trade/barter) toward payment so folks should reach out to us if money is a barrier to getting shares.
Pickup & Delivery
When ordering you’ll need to choose one of our convenient pick up windows: Tuesdays 3:00-6:00 on the farm or at the Community Food Project in Brattleboro or Saturdays 9:00-12:00 on the farm.
These pick up times are NOT interchangeable, when you choose one, that is your designated pick up for your shares. You may contact us to change your pick up day and time between share periods if you find your choice isn’t working for you.
If you’re not able to pick up your box, please be in touch with us with 24hrs notice so that we can edit our weekly harvest. Any box left an hour after the pick up window without prior arrangement is subject to resale without refund!
We can deliver for housebound or high-risk folks for a fee. If three or more families in the same area get together and agree on an alternate pick up location, we can deliver to that spot for a reduced rate.
