Burlington CSA Box Share

Share:

The Rancocas Creek Farm (RCF) and The Opportunity League are excited to offer a box share of fresh, chemical-free vegetables, herbs and flowers to Burlington residents.  RCF grows a lot of different produce on their farm in Southampton, NJ.  Your boxed share will include food like lettuce, sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, garlic, cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, onions, squash and beans.  And you’ll get some perhaps lesser-known crops like okra, bok choy, winter radish, collard greens and leeks. Not to mention flowers and herbs! 

Your boxed share of fresh vegetables will be available for pickup at The Opportunity League Headquarters, 11 West Broad St, Burlington on Thursdays from 12 pm to 5:00 pm. The distribution season begins in early June and runs for 21 weeks. 

Our goal is to provide you with delicious, chemical-free food and a connection with local farms and farmers throughout the season.

Reserve Your 2025 Box Share!

The cost of a box share for Burlington residents is $600. To reserve your share make the initial payment of $300. Your final payment of $300 will be due May 25. Shares are limited and we anticipate selling out so reserve your share today!

You will receive a weekly farm email during the season letting you know what food to expect that week, telling you what is happening on the farm, and a few recipes to try.  You will also get information on events, happenings and opportunities at the farm and in New Jersey’s Pinelands from RCF’s parent organization, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.

Burlington box shares are limited – so reserve your share today! 

The Opportunity League & Rancocas Creek Farm

In 2022 the Rancocas Creek Farm, the Pinelands Preservation Alliance and The Opportunity League collaborated on a unique program to offer the young people the chance to learn about farming at our Rancocas Creek Farm.  This ten-week program was a huge success and has continued in 2023 and 2024.
