About Good Earth
CSA
Good Earth CSA is an
organic farm in Westboro, MA. The farm is located on six acres of leased
land, 1.1 miles east of Westboro Center on Route 135, behind St. Luke's
cemetery. Westboro is a 45-minute drive on the Mass Pike (I-90) from Boston.
Sue Andersen, the founding
farmer of Good Earth CSA, is starting her ninth year as a full-time farmer.
The farm is managed
organically, which means:
-
no synthetic pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers are used;
-
sustainable practices--such
as crop rotation, fertilizing with compost and manures, and cover cropping--respect
soil fertility and the farm ecosystem; and
-
safe food for consumers,
a safe work place for farmers, and a healthy environment.
