Farmers To You Starts Newton Center Service

“Farmers To You” a partnership between Boston area families and Vermont farmers, is pleased to announce the addition of Newton Center to their serviced communities. The Newton Center Montessori School (on Crescent Ave off Center St.) is the local pick-up site on Wednesdays between 2:00 and 3:30.

A "CSA with choice", Farmers To You delivers the best of Vermont farms direct to Boston neighborhoods and strives to establish a regional food system. Already established in Cambridge, Beverly, Newburyport, Arlington, Lexington, Jamaica Plain and Somerville, the addition of Newton rounds out the weekly delivery.

Farmers To You inspiration grows out of a deep commitment:

• to provide access to highly nutritious and trustworthy food
• to rebuild a safe and sustainable local food system
• to support healthy families and healthy farms in our communities

Their skills in farming, distribution, business, and education combine to create a local food system that brings interested families and committed farmers and producers into a transformational partnership that is having a profound effect on the health of their families and communities.

Farmers To You provides:

• more choice than a CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture)
• more convenience than a farmers market
• and much more transparency and trust than a supermarket
• more of your food dollar going direct to growers. (65% vrs 18%)

Farmers To You makes it possible to have easy weekly access to trustworthy, nutritious, mostly organic food of your choice, delivered to your neighborhood year-round -- a healthy, sustainable, and joyful collaboration for all involved.

Orders are placed by members Sunday night. Monday orders are placed with farmers around Vermont. Tuesday the farm orders are picked up, bagged and loaded. Wednesday (Thursday for Cambridge, Lexington and Arlington), the food is delivered. It's a great model that people love.
