Wake Robin Farm is a family owned and operated farm located in Stratham NH. Our family has been farming here for almost three hundred years and is currently managed by the fourteenth generation. The farm was recently placed in a conservation easement to prevent any possible future development. We have a very strong commitment to maintaining an active, viable, and sustainable farm for generations to come. While we are not certified organic, we do employ environmentally sound farming practices. Every possible measure is taken to ensure the health of our soil. We use local composted manure, local leaf mulch, and our own compost to increase the fertility of our soil. We also practice integrated pest management, crop rotation, and companion planting to reduce pest populations. In short, we make sure that our soil is healthy, and in return so is our produce!

In addition to attending three farmers markets a week during the growing season, this coming year we are increasing the number of CSA shares to 110. In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, you purchase shares of a farms harvest before the season starts. In return, you pick up the freshest possible veggies on a weekly basis through out the growing season!

By becoming a member in a CSA, you are taking an active role in preserving the sustainability of local farming. You are also keeping your food dollars in the local economy, and reducing the amount of fuel used to ship food across the country to your table. The veggies that you receive will also have a higher nutritional value. The majority of your produce will have been picked just a few short hours before you receive it, you can’t get any fresher than that! We strive to provide the highest quality (not to mention tastiest!) produce we can. You will enjoy many tried and true heirloom varieties, along with some of the most exciting new hybrids. Every winter we spend countless hours searching out the best possible vegetables, flowers, and herbs to offer our customers. (If we anticipate that you may be unfamiliar with a particular item, we will include cooking options.) What you will receive will vary from week to week during the growing season. In the spring you will enjoy plenty of greens, baby beets, radishes, and snap peas. Warmer months will bring on spring onions, beans, squash, garlic, peppers and tomatoes. Cooler weather will bring more garlic, potatoes, winter squash, greens and onions. You can view a complete list of our produce on our website. Members receive 10% off all additional purchases at market and at the stand.

Full Share: $550  Designed for a family of two to four, depending on vegetable consumption.

*Please note, we will not be offering part shares this season.

Pickups:  We will be offering the same pickup times as last season. Pickups will begin approximately the first or second week of June and continue through October for a
