Community Supported Agriculture

 

We think the model of Community Supported Agriculture is truly a beautiful thing.

Here is how it works: Before the growing season begins, farmers invite the community to buy a share of the harvest up front, paying in a lump sum, before any food is being produced. Once the farm begins pumping out food, the members of the CSA who bought in get a cut of the harvest throughout the season in the form of a box of vegetables each week. Our summer CSA runs for 18 weeks, from late May until late September, and our Fall CSA typically runs for 7 weeks from October-November.

This means that when the farm flourishes, the members of the CSA do too, as they get the highest quality produce imaginable. This relationship goes both ways, the farmers truly care about the wellbeing of the community and do everything they can to nurture and support the people they feed. This model came about because early in the year, farmers face extremely high expenses to start the season including seeds, infrastructure, soil amendments, labor, and many more. By having the community put faith in the farm’s success by investing in a share of the harvest, the farmer is able to cover the large costs and do their best to produce good, ethical, sustainable food.
