"Our goal at Weskeag Farms is to be a quality local food source for our community, using environmentally sound practices while maintaining our economic viability. We appreciate your support in our efforts by becoming a CSA member of Weskeag Farms."
Larry and Georgene
In our farm stand you will find produce grown from the soils of our farm, locally raised farm-fresh eggs, "Made in Maine" fruit and cream pies, fresh cut flowers and much more.
What is a CSA?
"A CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally or spiritually, the community's farm. The growers and consumers providing a mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production. Members or shareholders of the farm pledge in advance to cover anticipated costs of the farm operation. In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty throughout the growing seasons, as well as the satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land.*"
*A CSA helps you to keep a connection with the land: provides a sustainable, reliable, top quality local food source, and helps to keep the family farm in your community.
"We are committed to the freshness and quality of our produce at Weskeag Farms; this has always been one of our primary goals. We also believe in producing and selling top quality products at a reasonable price."
