Our CSA
In 2025, we're excited to announce a large expansion of our weekly CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)!

Our CSA offers two flexible options for getting our fresh organically-grown produce.
Option 1: pack-your-own bag at our store
Tailor your weekly CSA bag to your specific preferences and get more of what you like.
Every Wednesday between 9 AM and 6 PM, visit our farm at 105 Witches Spring Rd, Hollis NH, or visit us at the Milford Farmers Market every Saturday, 10am-1pm. Fill your bag with produce up to the value of your CSA share. You can purchase additional produce beyond the value of your weekly share at a 10% discount from the retail price.

Pricing
All shares are priced at a discount when compared to retail. Full shares offer a better value with a larger discount because of the larger upfront commitment, which helps our farm plan and buy supplies.
Our CSA season runs at least 20 weeks.
Full share pack-your-own (four people): $750. This gives you $45 per week to spend at the store. This works out to $900 worth of produce by the end of the season, a 17% discount off retail price.
Half share pack-your-own (two people): $450. This gives you $25 per week to spend at the store. This works out to $500 worth of produce by the end of the season, a 10% discount off retail.
All shares include a 10% discount off any additional produce you wish to buy beyond the weekly value of your share.
Example: say you own a full share which entitles you to $45 worth of produce each week. Pick out whatever produce you like up to $45 in value and purchase anything over $45 for a 10% discount off the retail price.
Option 2: delivery
A convenient option for farm-fresh produce delivered directly to your door. For delivery addresses in Hollis, Nashua, Brookline and Amherst. Every Wednesday a portion of the week's harvest will be delivered to you.
We ask that you leave a cooler out every Wednesday to keep your produce fresh.

Pricing: add a $50 one-time delivery fee to the pack-your-own prices listed above.
Fee for credit card payments
A 3% fee has been added to all prices listed in our online store. This covers the cost of credit card processing.
You can avoid this fee by paying with cash, check or Venmo. At checkout, select "Cash, Check or Venmo" as your payment method then mail your check for $750/full or $450/half (plus $50 delivery fee if choosing delivery) to:
Begin Family Farm LLC
296 Broad St
Hollis NH 03049
Make checks payable to Begin Family Farm LLC.
Or pay via Venmo to @Jeff-Begin-2.
Be sure to pay the amounts listed on this page ($750 for full and $450 for half) and not the price listed in the online store. Sorry if this is confusing, the checkout software is limited.
What makes us different
Why buy from our farm? Freshness is what makes a vegetable great, and we focus on minimizing the time from field to your hands. We only use specific organic products and practices and focus on producing healthy soil as this leads to healthier plants and produce. We think these practices make our produce head and shoulders above the grocery stores.
All of our growing practices are detailed on our How We Grow page. We believe in honesty and transparency so please do not hesitate to contact us with any specific questions about our growing practices.
What's included
Our CSA season runs 20 weeks, depending on the weather. Usually starting middle/end of May through the middle of October, we try to run it as early and late as possible.
All of our produce is grown following the rules of the National Organic Program (NOP) at a minimum, and following our own strict standards detailed on our How We Grow page.
Here's what we're growing this year:
Broccoli
Cabbage
Carrots
Cauliflower
Cherry tomatoes
Corn (sweet)
Cucumbers (pickling, English)
Eggplant (Italian and long Asian)
Garlic
Head lettuce
Heirloom tomatoes
Herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro, dill and others)
Kale, curly and Tuscan
Leeks
Onions and shallots
Peppers (sweet and hot varieties)
Plum tomatoes
Potatoes
Pumpkins (ornamental and pie)
Radishes
Scallions/spring onions
Slicing and beefsteak tomatoes
Summer squash (yellow crookneck, patty pan, regular and Italian heirloom zucchini)
Swiss chard
Winter squash (delicatta, butternut, kabocha, acorn)
We always try out a few new varieties every year and will include those if they perform well.
Please note that some of the listed crops will fail as farming is not an exact science, so we can't guarantee you'll receive everything on this list.
Take a farm tour!
Before you sign up for our CSA, do you have questions about how we grow? Want to see for yourself before you pay for a whole season? We don't blame you! Farmer Jeff would be thrilled to show you around and talk your ear off about what we do (Stacy, his wife, is tired of hearing about it, so do her a favor).
Just visit our contact page and request a farm tour and we'll get one scheduled for you.
