What is a CSA?
Community Shared Agriculture is a practice in which the consumers get a variety of high-quality, fresh vegetables at an affordable price, while supporting small-scale, environmentally and community-oriented food production.
CSA is a way to experience directly how food is grown and be a part of a social community around food ; a mutually beneficial partnership between farmers and consumers. CSA is also a way to keep local money in the local community and reduce your environmental footprint.
CSA is a shared risk model
The CSA model provides security to the farmer and the consumer. The farmer works hard to ensure a bountiful harvest and plants a large variety of vegetables, however sometimes weather, disease, or pests will affect the harvest. Members agree to share this risk and bounty with the farmer.
Both the farmer and consumer are investing in future food security.
By signing up for a CSA, share members receive a bounty of our fresh, locally grown organic vegetables throughout the growing season.
We proudly offer a Spring, Summer, and Winter CSA.
