The four-month session gives you 10 lbs. of Codman-raised beef and pork each month. That works out to be $10 per pound for grass-fed beef and naturally raised pork that’s free of antibiotics and hormones. Pickups are the first Thursday of each month starting in June 11 from 5-7 p.m. in the Codman Barn. Feel free to sign up throughout June and the farm will arrange for your pickup. Codman’s regular six-month meat share runs from July through December and costs $600. To sign up for either CSA or to buy a 5-lb. or 10-lb. bag of beef or pork, visit the farm store web page.
