Fruiting

Fruit shares are now for sale. The price is $65. The fruit share is one half-peck bag a week for nine weeks -- starting at the end of August and going until the end of the CSA. Most weeks the share will include new and different varieties of apples, but depending on how the season has been for the grower, there may also be peaches, pears and grapes. The fruit comes from Autumn Hills Orchard in Groton.

Autumn Hills is an IPM orchard (not organic). Buying from Autumn Hills is a great way to support a local farmer and to get the freshest fruit possible (the apples are incredibly crisp!). Shares can be purchased at the CSA pickup in Westborough, or by sending a check in the mail to Heirloom Harvest, PO Box 1031, Westborough, MA 01581. The check should be made out to Heirloom Harvest.
