In addition to the farmer's market, a University-wide farmshare or CSA (community shared agriculture) program started in 2010, offering avid locavores the opportunity to order a weekly box of seasonally harvested produce.
Supporting local, sustainable agriculture by connecting the university community with New England farmers, artisans and producers is part of the mission of BU Dining Services. Dining Services partners with Ward’s Berry Farm in Sharon, MA to provide the BU community with the opportunity to order a weekly farmshare/community supported agriculture (CSA) box.
