Flower CSA-Tuesday Pickup
The flower CSA forms the core of the farm- the crop planning process centers around making sure these bouquets are filled with a luscious and fun diversity of flowers. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, a longstanding way for folks to share in the risks and rewards of their local farms. Buying a CSA subscription gets you 8 glorious weeks of flowers harvested at their peak, to support the longest vase life possible once you bring them home.
Pick up your bouquets after 3:30pm at Milkweed Farm in Westminster West or the Root Social Justice Center in Brattleboro.
For 2025, subscriptions start on July 22, and the final pickup will be Sept 8. All subscribers will receive an email confirming the start date 2 weeks before.
Each week, you will receive a generous bouquet that should fill a quart sized mason jar or equivalently sized vase. With proper care, (changing water daily and perhaps snipping the ends), flowers should last a week, if not longer.
Subscriptions cost $27/week. This amount includes VT sales tax, the website processing fee, and the credit card processing fee. If you would like to avoid paying these fees, or would like to split payment into two parts, please email byhandfarm@gmail.com to discuss other options.

Farming is inherently unpredictable, so no specific flowers are guaranteed, but they will most definitely be beautiful! I choose varieties to grow based on bloom quality, subjective “beauty”, vase life, and performance in the field. Some will probably be familiar, but I hope you get to meet some new flowers through this season!
If you are unable to pickup your bouquet, I recommend finding a friend to get it for you. If you can’t please let me know so I can communicate to the pickup site about it. These subscriptions are only possible because of the support of the other businesses sharing their space, and bouquets that are not picked up on time can become confusing for those businesses and their employees.
