Imagine….

dinner.   ...... a ripe tomato in your hand.
A bird in the raspberries. A child in the strawberry patch. A field of green.
A moment in the sun.
Oops.  Need to hurry. No. Need to slow down. Dinner again.
Food.Questions. What to get? How to make sure it is fresh? Wholesomely grown? Into the stream of living, the constant question of food and nourishment touches us all and every day. If you cannot have your own vegetable garden then consider the next best thing, a local CSA farm.

A CSA farm is a relationship between a community of members and the farmer.

You pay a fee up front and the farmer spends his time growing crops to feed you during the appropriate seasons. Here are the what, hows and whys of this particular CSA.


Lindentree Farm CSA, in its 20th  year, certified organic, is located in Lincoln, MA, serving approximately 190 shares, the local Farmers Market and the” Field of Greens” for a food pantry in Cambridge. MA.

PICK UP IS AT THE FARM. The season runs from

June through October, approximately 20-22 weeks.

Tuesdays 1:30 - 7:30

Thursdays 1:30 – 7:30
