Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Your key to fresh food.
What is a CSA? A CSA (community supported agriculture) is an excellent opportunity for grower and consumer a like. By purchasing a share in our farm you ensure that you and your family receive the highest quality of food in a weekly box from our farm.

Why Join a CSA? CSA is one of the best ways to support small family farms and local Agriculture. You get the assurance of quality and knowledge of the growing practices used on your food. The farmers are able to grow with a minimum of waste and continue providing you with the best products.

How Long is the Season? Our full season begins the end of June and runs to the early part of October for 16 weeks. This is a full time share. A part-time share is full boxes delivered every other week. Peak season runs from the mid-July through mid-September for 8 weeks.

What will we get in the boxes? Each week we provide you with a box of only the freshest, in season, certified organic produce. You will receive at least 3/4 bushels of vegetalbes. We try to vary the offerings weekly and include items you are familiar with as well as interesting and exciting heirloom varieties. Boxes vary by season and may include--

Early Season box--radishes, sweet peas, spring onions, lettuce, Asian greens, herbs, spring carrots, beets, turnips and more.

Mid Season box--green beans, zucchini, green peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, melons, strawberries, corn and more.

Late Season box--squash, cabbage, storage onions, storage carrots, fall greens, beets, turnips and more.

Our good friends Shane and Chiara Dowell run a CSA in Michigan. They describe the CSA process this way--

I cannot tell you how important it is that we continue to vote with our food dollars. In this day and age it is not enough to hold fast to ideals..we have to live them. One way to make huge efforts towards change for the better is to vote with your food dollars. Remember that when you buy a share in a farm you are getting more out of it than a simple exchange for veggies. You are supporting a way of life for a particular family which enriches them as spouses, children, and citizens. You are ensuring your own health, and taking an active role in promoting sustainable stewardship of land and resources...but most importantly, you are opening yourself up to a more beautiful relationship with the land, and with your fellow human beings that cultivate it. Keep it up! Keep participating in the beautiful art of growing things in this good green earth.
