First Root Farm

First Root is a fantastic CSA – high quality, abundant produce, and great variety, even in those first early deliveries of the season. The farmers and their staff are great, and beyond running a stellar CSA, they do awesome things such as donate to food banks, take turns making farm lunch, have cookie Tuesdays, and make vegetable celebrity puns (which are sometimes included in the weekly, handwritten and illustrated, newsletter – Rutabaga Ginsburg is my favorite so far). They do both full and half-​shares (the half is definitely big enough for 2 people) and have a number of pick-​up times and locations. Overall, very happy to be a CSA member with First Root!

The ladies at the First Root CSA do a TREMENDOUS job — Nicely Done! The quality and selection is great. The pick up process is quick and easy. How can you go wrong with vegetables lovingly grown on the same land where the people that founded our country farmed and lived. I can’t say enough good things about the First Root CSA — it’s how we all should be eating, fresh naturally grown vegetables farmed locally by local farmers.

This CSA rates five stars for its wide variety of healthy produce, its commitment to providing delicious and simple recipes with each week’s pickup, and its down-​right friendly atmosphere. Workdays are regularly scheduled, but are completely optional; you can participate as much or as little as you want. The CSA is now able to let you make some choices about what you take home It’s an exciting time to be part o Frist Root Farm.

First Root is a great CSA. Very friendly farmers, sign up and pick up are very easy, and you really feel like you are supporting a community. In a time when «CSA» has become a bit watered down (CSA pick ups at Whole Foods?!), this really is a community supporting local small scale and sustainable agriculture. Plus the food tastes great and they have vegetables you actually can recognize.
My kids even eat their vegetables now — because they know their farmer!
If you are scared of a big CSA commitment, by the way, they have small shares or half shares which are good for smaller households.

I love First Root! Great produce. Reasonably priced. And a really nice, unpretentious, community feel. Run by two awesome young women to boot.

First Root Farm gives you delicious organic vegetables and provides recipes that are quite wonderful. It is one of the few CSA’s where you can just join for the fall and pick up in the city (Davis Square.) Also, the Nov and Dec options let you choose the vegetables you want, which is a great way to get enough organic produce for the Thanksgiving and December holidays. Love this CSA and will definitely join again this year

The best! Love my CSA. Great variety of stuff you want, plus stuff you might not see in a regular grocery store. Great options for extending your share into the winter too. Still have some onions and squash left from 4 months ago.
