About UsAbout UsAbout UsAbout Us

Champlain Orchards is located in Shoreham, VT overlooking Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks. We are a diversified farm employing over 50 staff members in our busiest season.

round.

What is What is What is What is

Community Supported Agriculture?Community Supported Agriculture?Community Supported Agriculture?Community Supported Agriculture?

Community Supported AgricultureCommunity Supported AgricultureCommunity Supported AgricultureCommunity Supported Agriculture, or CSACSACSACSA, is a way

for community members to have a direct relationship

with the people who grow their food. The benefits of

your enrollment in our CSA program are numerous.

With your membership, you are not only supporting

our farm and helping to promote local agriculture,

but you are also making a commitment to eating

healthily and locally. As a member of our CSA, you

are fostering a more direct relationship between

yourself and the people producing your food. We

welcome our CSA members to get involved in the

program. We are always in need of volunteers to

help coordinate drop-sites and advertise our CSA to

new members. If you are interested in getting more

involved, contact us at 802-897-2777 or e-mail

“I’m recommending this CSA to all my friends.

assist a local farm. With your specialty items

and informative newsletter, you made it fun!”

What does a “Localvore Share” mean?What does a “Localvore Share” mean?What does a “Localvore Share” mean?What does a “Localvore Share” mean?

Our CSA Share is unique in that the total price includes

products other than fresh fruits and vegetables from our farm.

We augment your weekly share with our own farm-produced

value-added items such as cider and apple butter and we also

partner with other regional producers to include in your

shares items such as bread, cheese and eggs.

We encourage you to sign up even if you've missed the

starting date. We will deduct the cost of the week(s) you've

missed.

Our farm participates in the Vermont Farm Share Pro-

gram. This program subsidizes CSA shares for our

neighbors who otherwise could not afford to join our

CSA. Through the program, NOFA-VT will match each

dollar that our CSA raises to offer reduced rates to in-

come eligible individuals and families. Your contribu-

tions are tax-deductible if you make checks payable to

NOFA-VT. Please e-mail

elissa@champlainorchards.com if you wish to donate

or want more information on the program. Thank you!
