Good Eats CSA - FAQ

What is Good Eats CSA?

Good Eats is our weekly food delivery program. Each Wednesday we deliver fresh vegetables from the farm, plus locally grown and produced staples, value added products and meats to our members. Along with the beautiful fresh produce and food, members receive a weekly newsletter with news from the farm and information, recipes, and how to information about the food in that week's share. We started Good Eats CSA because we wanted the public to have full and direct access to all of the great vegetables we grow. Joining our CSA is the best way for our customers to experience the full diversity that makes up Pete’s Greens.

Good Eats is based on the Community Supported Agriculture model in which customers pay up front for vegetables and other farm products and receive a share every week. Our shares save our members an average of 18% per week over retail. You can pick up your Good Eats share at our farm in Craftsbury or at one of our pickup sites in Central Vermont.
