New This Season - CSA Work Exchange
Ask us about helping with harvest each week in exchange for a discounted share!
What is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)?
CSA is a model of farming in which people become members of the farm; pay a subscription fee, and receive a weekly share of the harvest. This form of agriculture offers customers the benefit of being intimately connected with their foods. In a time when consumers have to worry about toxic chemical sprays, genetically modified seeds, and environmentally harmful farming practices, CSA membership gives you some peace of mind. You know where your food comes from, you have a personal relationship with the growers, and see first hand what goes into the food you enjoy. Not to mention you get a bunch of the freshest, tastiest, organically grown, local produce every week at a really good price!
The Weekly Share:
A normal share includes a little bit of all the crops that are ready on the farm. We strive to give you a good mix of vegetables of different types each week. A full share is enough for a family to cook many side dishes and/or a few main entrees in a week, or enough to make up the majority of the meals for a vegetarian couple. Each week’s distribution depends on what is ready, and how productive each crop is. For this reason, shares in June when less crops are ready, tend to be smaller then in August.
Sample Share:
Full sample share:
2 lbs summer squash, 4 cucumbers, 1 bunch beets, 1 bok choi, 4 lbs red tomatoes, 2 lbs heirloom tomatoes, 1 bag baby lettuce, 1 lb onions, 3 green peppers, 4 oriental eggplant, .5lb edamame, basil, and one cantaloupe
Pick Up Locations:
Please note that the prices are different at the different pick up locations because each location runs for a different number of weeks.
