Why CSA?

Value.

• For less than $1.50 per pound you receive organic vegetables harvested the same day you bring them home, from arugula to zucchini.  Click here to see what we grow.

Transparency.

• You know exactly where your dollars go, who grows your food, and how.

Health.

• Purchasing a CSA share promotes a vegetable-filled diet.  You make the commitment in advance and find fresh organic vegetables in your kitchen, increasing your likelihood to eat healthy.  A diet high in vegetables and whole foods increases your energy and vitality and decreases your risk of disease.

Relationships.

• Joining the farm brings an increased connection to the land & its cycles, the farmer and farm community.  You are a vital part of the local food economy.  The farmers, personally knowing their customers, are committed to distributing only the highest quality food.

What is in a share?

Each week’s offering of vegetables is different. As the season allows, we will strive to bring as much diversity and quantity to your weekly share as possible and will constantly push the envelope of what is possible during the growing season.

A single share is designed to meet the fresh vegetable needs of 2 – 3 non-vegetarian adults or 1-2 vegetarian adults. Depending on the season, the contents will vary between 4 and 18 pounds of vegetables every pick up (11 pounds average). Members will also be entitled to a “U-Pick” field featuring herbs, flowers, and vegetables that you can harvest during distribution hours and all day on Sundays.

Weekly Farm Newsletter

The newsletter enhances each week’s share. (Sent out electronically to all members, also available in hard copy at distribution.) The farmer takes valuable time each week to give a report to the members about the various weekly developments through the ever-changing farm season. We also include recipe with each newsletter. For past newsletters and recipes, see the links to the right.

Harvest Time!

Your membership entitles you to pick up your share one time each week. Distribution days are Tuesdays or Fridays from 2-7pm at the farm. You do not have to commit to the same day each week; come which ever day is more convenient for you each week.

What if I’m on vacation?

Members are welcome to have neighbors or friends pick-up their share at the farm if they are not able.

Item Special Note

This coupon is good towards the purchase of a CSA share to be picked up at the farm weekly from June through October of 2014. The full price of a share is $525.

Not redeemable for cash.
