CSA
(Community Supported Agriculture) is
a subscription-like program that allows folks to buy direct
from a local farm. By purchasing a CSA share from the farm
in the spring, you help with early season start-up costs and
ensure a stable customer base for us, the farmers. In return
for your financial commitment, you’ll receive a weekly
box of freshly picked organic produce as it becomes available
throughout the growing season.
In this day and age we essentially vote with our dollars.
What we buy and consume creates the type of world we live
in. When you buy from us, you know you are directly supporting
and sustaining responsible agriculture. What’s more
your money stays within the community helping to strengthen
our local economy.
