Local Food Sources
Every dollar you spend on locally grown food is a dollar that is supporting the local food system. It’s your “vote” for local food. Following is a listing of farmers’ markets, community supported agriculture programs (CSA’s) and community gardens in Newburyport and adjoining towns.

Farmers’ Markets
The Newburyport Farmers Market, Newburyport, MA
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA’s) Programs
CSA’s are a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer and contribute to the sustainability of local agriculture. The farmer offers a certain number of “shares” of produce at the beginning of the season. You buy a share or half-share and receive seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
This arrangement is a mutually beneficial one of shared risk and shared reward. The farmer works hard to deliver a beautiful and bountiful amount of produce each week, and hopes that Mother Nature cooperates. It’s a way for you to invest in local farming and receive your dividends in food.
