ACORN's mission is to promote the growth and health of local food and agriculture in Vermont’s Champlain Valley by providing support to our farmers and food producers, engaging in food education and ensuring access to healthy food for all members of our community.
ACORN does its work on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Abenaki and Mahican people.
ACORN Fall CSA Sign Up is NOW OPEN!
Calling all local food lovers - enjoy the bounty of peak season
Each week, pick up a fully loaded box containing local dairy, eggs, protein, vegetables, fruit, grain/bread products, value-added foods, and more. Save a trip to the grocery store and enjoy the convenience of our staff-curated, all local CSA. For 11 weeks starting September 9 through November 18, this program is a great fit for small families or food-loving couples ready to support their local farms and embrace the flavors of the season.
Each week you’ll receive 10-14 items in your box and can expect fresh organic milk and local pastured eggs as anchor items in your share. Fresh fruit, delicious veggies, diverse cheeses, and other locally sourced, high quality products will round it out. From farms you already love and ones we hope you get to know, this program brings so much good food from Vermont’s Champlain Valley to you each week in a convenient location in Middlebury. On Wednesdays from 2-5pm, our friendly team will be distributing shares, recipes, and enthusiasm for all things local inside the ACORN Food Hub on Exchange St.
We now offer flexible payment options including an upfront payment, payment by credit card, or a budget-friendly monthly payment plan. For 11 weeks of high quality, delicious, local food, the cost to participate is $840. By month, that’s $280 for three months.
On the last week, November 18, we’ll load you up with twice as much so you can head into the holidays fully stocked to enjoy the best flavors of the season.
Payment and signs up are due by September 4th! Secure your spot and sign up soon!
Reach out to the ACORN CSA Team if you’d like to know more about this program and how you can participate! We can be reached at hub@acornvt.org or by phone at 802-234-1525.
