Description

For the past five years, the Certified Naturally Grown produce, herbs and flowers from Beech Springs Farm have only been available at the Gettysburg Farmers Market. In 2011, we will offer 20 CSA shares to area residents. Each share will include a seasonal assortment of some of the finest heirloom produce available in Adams County. Weekly access to the farm's herb garden is included as part of each share. CSA members may also harvest flowers from the farm's cutting garden for a nominal fee.
