CSA news

Our sad news last week that CSA farmer Rory O'Dwyer will be leaving Weir River has left us here at the farm, and many of you in the CSA, sorry to see her go. We know this news is surprising and we understand it may cause some worry as to where all your tasty veggies will be coming from this season. Right now we're hard at work answering just that question and figuring out what the CSA will look like this year. And we'll be in touch once we have that set. We definitely don't want you to go without tasty veggies!

In the meantime, if you have more concerns or just want to chat, we'll be at the Yellow House from 4-6pm on Tuesday, Feb. 22nd, so drop in and say hi. Fran Blanchard (Weir River Farm General Manager), Leslie Cox (statewide Farm Operations Director), and of course, Rory, would love to see you. If you can't make the meeting, you can always contact Fran at fblanchard@thetrustees.org, Leslie at lcox@thetrustees.org, or Rory at rodwyer@thetrustees.org

Chickens, anyone?

In many suburban towns, on the South Shore, raising backyard chickens is legal and fun. Whether your interest is in locally grown, organic eggs, broilers or sharing an experience with your children, a small flock of chickens may be just what you’re looking for . Learn about the benefits of backyard chickens, buying and caring for day-old chicks, securing a Coop, managing hens, collecting eggs (and the truth about roosters!). 


Order your chicks in March for fresh eggs in August!
