What is CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a locally based food distribution system that creates a direct link between farmers and consumers.

Individuals pre-purchase a "share" of the farm's harvest in the spring when expenses are highest for the farmer.

In exchange, CSA members receive a weekly box of freshly picked organic produce as it becomes available throughout the growing season.

This mutually beneficial partnership helps ensure a more secure market for small farms struggling to compete with larger, less sustainable farms, as well as ensures members consistent access to healthier, safer, and tastier food.

 

Why CSA?

Taste: We carefully select our produce varieties for excellent taste and quality.

Freshness: Produce is harvested on or before the day you receive it.

Health for Body and Soil: Our produce is grown without pesticides in fertile soil resulting in highly nutritious food and healthy soil.

Support Local Agriculture: Today's agri-"culture" is in crisis. Through a CSA, your dollars go directly towards strengthening and sustaining a small farm - a vital community resource!

Support Responsible Agriculture: Get to know the farm and farmers. See where and how your food is grown.

Good for Gardeners: Let us provide your weekly basics and devote your garden space to your favorites.
