What is Community Supported Agriculture?
|
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) connects people with the farmers that grow their food. By purchasing a share, we, the farmers, commit to providing you, the member, with produce throughout the growing season. Vegetables in your weekly box change with the seasons, emphasizing the best of what is available. We do our best to provide you with an abundance of delicious produce and thank you for supporting a local farm.

"Community Supported Agriculture consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally or spiritually, the community's farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production."
-United States Dept. of Agriculture |

About Your CSA Membership
|
We take pride in providing you with beautiful, wholesome, and delicious produce. By harvesting and washing your vegetables as close to delivery as possible, flavor and freshness are at their peak. We use sustainable, chemical-free farming practices because we believe in being good stewards of the land and value safe, healthy food. In addition to a box of vegetables, you will receive a CSA newsletter with a video of us unpacking the box, a list of vegetables and how to store them, and recipes using vegetables from your share. You are welcome to visit and help out on the farm during volunteer days as well as meet other CSA members at the on-farm fall pumpkin pick and potluck.
