Six years ago we embarked on our first CSA journey in Atlanta. When we moved to New England, we searched far and wide for the perfect CSA—Community Supported Agriculture. The year before, I had read The Dirty Life: A Memoir of Farming, Food, and Love, and I was determined to find a farm that could feed my family throughout the year. We discovered Springdell Farm, in Littleton and I mourned the loss of my Springdell CSA when we decided to move from Acton to Beverly. Littleton felt too far away to drive on a weekly basis, so the last three years we’ve bounced around several farms trying to find one we liked as much as Springdell.

We were unsuccessful. This year we decided to go back to Springdell.
