Local Harvest CSA

What Local Harvest CSA does

Local Harvest CSA is a multi-farm Community Supported Agriculture cooperative based in Concord, New Hampshire, formed in 2002 and composed of six certified-organic New Hampshire family farms. The cooperative sells seasonal produce shares (Summer Share from $408.33 and Fall Share from $155) to members, who receive weekly pickups over a 26-week window spanning May through November across three growing seasons. The core product is direct farmer-to-consumer organic produce, augmented by an add-on catalog including eggs, honey, maple syrup, organic cold brew coffee (Community Supported Cold Brew), sourdough bread (Abigail's Bakery), sourdough kitchen staples (Kate's Wicked Bakes), and fresh-cut flowers.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer distribution model through nine pickup locations across Concord, Hooksett, Manchester, Pembroke, Bedford, Warner, and Bradford, including employer access points at Dartmouth Hitchcock facilities and Eversource. Marketing and member engagement center on a recurring email newsletter, a Squarespace-hosted website with an integrated shop, and Instagram presence routed through partner channels. The firm has no proprietary technology stack, no native mobile application, no APIs, no AI/ML capabilities, and no external funding or institutional ownership; it operates as an independent farmer-owned cooperative.

Revenue is generated through annual subscription purchases of produce shares plus à la carte add-ons, gift certificates, and donations to the Farm-to-Food-Assistance Fund (routed through NOFA-NH). The customer base consists of individuals and families in central New Hampshire seeking local, certified-organic produce, with secondary exposure via employee pickup programs at large regional employers. The cooperative employs 11–50 people and operates on a 26-week seasonal cadence, implying a concentrated revenue window each year.
