Sign up now for subscription program at Massaro Farm in Woodbridge



WOODBRIDGE - It might still feel like winter outside but Massaro Community Farm staff is reporting for duty and they are busy planting crops that will yield the abundant produce for our subscription program of organic vegetables, herbs, and flowers beginning in June. 
The farm is located at 41 Ford Road on the Ansonia town line.

Enrollment is now open for the farm’s 2018 Community Supported Agriculture seasonal subscription program.

Signing up now is an essential aspect of the CSA model. By doing so you provide the necessary funds to support the farm operation, lighten the farm staff load during the height of the growing season, and enjoy a weekly bountiful harvest throughout the season.

  • eating healthy foods and preparing them for their families;
  • supporting farmers;
  • buying local;
  • investing in community.
