You can enjoy weekly pick-up options for the whole season or partial shares. There are flower options, and bread options as well.

Enjoy The Summer Bounty Of Martha’s Vineyard With Local CSA Options – Island Grown Initiative
Did you you know that almost half of the beautiful, fresh food grown at Island Grown Initiative is donated to the Island Food Pantry and other organizations that address food inequity? The CSA membership fees help make these donations possible. What types of fruits and veggies are available with the membership? There are a number of items available. During summer and early fall there are beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, collards, eggplant, kale, lettuce, melons, onions, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, summer squash, tomatoes, and often additional options. I really enjoy the IGI tomatoes and strawberries. There is also a winter CSA option to help keep you fridge stocked with local, healthy options.
