Frequently asked questions
About Someday Farm & Community Supported Agriculture
Is Someday Farm Selling Turkey’s This Year?
This is one of our MOST frequently asked questions! We’re so grateful for the support this community has shown us over the decades. This year, we’re scaling back, so only a limited number of turkeys will be available for purchase, provided by Stonewood Farm (Orwell, VT). Pickup will be at our farm in East Dorset, VT. To pre-order your turkey, please use this form. Due to high call volume in the Fall, we strongly encourage customers to use our order form instead of calling the farm. Thank you!
What Is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture is a way to support local farms by buying a share of their harvest upfront. This helps the farm cover costs, and in return, you get fresh, seasonal produce throughout the year. It’s a great way to indulge in locally grown, seasonally appropriate food. Every CSA farm is a little different. To learn more about our Share Program, feel free to browse the rest of our FAQ, or contact us directly!
Does Someday Farm sell to the public?
Yes and no! We do not sell at a traditional farm stand or farmer’s markets; we operate through a Share Program, otherwise known as CSA— Community Supported Agriculture. Our farm is sustained by shareholders who pay an annual fee in exchange for access to our self-serve farmstead throughout the year. These pre-paid shares help us cover the costs of growing and caring for the delicious, nutrient-rich food we harvest. This system also helps us determine how much to grow each year, ensuring minimal food waste and maximum deliciousness.
Our Share Program even includes fresh eggs and whole, processed chickens! Everything in our share-shed is available to our shareholders, including produce and goods from our partner farms; we bring in beefalo, yogurt, mushrooms, bread, apples, and blueberries, and more!
Is Someday Farm Accepting New Shareholders?
Not at the moment. Sign-ups occur at the beginning of the year (Jan-Feb), but we are currently at capacity and fully supported by our existing shareholders. Because we’re committed to growing food responsibly and maintaining the quality of our harvest, we limit the number of shareholders we serve each year.
That said, we do maintain a waitlist! If you're interested in joining the Share Program in the future, we’d love to hear from you. Just reach out, and we’ll gladly add you to the list and keep you posted if a spot opens up. In the meantime, we highly recommend checking out some of our partner farms.
Is Someday Farm an Organic Farm?
Yes and no! Someday Farm is an ecologically-conscious farm. We’re not certified organic because we choose to farm on our own terms— but we do follow organic principles, growing nutritious, safe, and high-quality produce with care to protect the health of our soil, ecosystem, and community.
We also make our own compost, which helps close the loop by returning nutrients from the farm back into the soil— supporting healthy crops and a more resilient farm system.
What do you grow at Someday Farm?
We grow a little bit of everything! Fresh berries like strawberries and raspberries, assorted lettuces, beans, kale, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots— and plenty more.
Can I Visit Someday Farm?
While we appreciate the interest, we kindly ask that folks don’t drop by unannounced. We're a little shy, and you might catch us deep in conversation with our plants.
More importantly, because we’re a working farm, unexpected visitors can create safety concerns for people, crops, and animals. If you're interested in learning more or getting involved, feel free to reach out! We're always happy to connect.
Can I Buy a Whole Laying Hen?
Asking for a friend, huh? We get this question more and more since egg prices started climbing! But honestly, chickens are a big commitment— they can be smelly, noisy, and downright destructive. We wouldn’t wish that on your worst neighbor, and we like to sleep well knowing our hens are happy and well cared for.
Still interested in raising your own chickens? Check out these guides from our two preferred hatcheries, Murray McMurray Hatchery and Myers Poultry. Please keep in mind— hens do not start laying eggs until about 5 months of age!
