Discounted CSA shares:

Northeast Organic Farming Association (NH):   NOFA-NH's Farm Share Program provides funds for limited-income New Hampshire residents to purchase certified organic Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares, also known as farm shares, at discounted prices across the state. The program especially benefits children, families, and seniors, and has partnered with 15 farms to provide 167 shares to 550+ community members since 2017.

  • How It Works: NOFA-NH contributes 50% of funds toward each farm share, recipients contribute 25%, and farm partners donate the remaining 25%. That means recipients pay 25% of the normal price for produce all summer long!

  • Local Participants: 

    • Winter Street Farm in Claremont

    • Abenaki Springs in Walpole & Peterborough

Cheshire County Conservation District also has a discounted CSA program.
