What is a CSA?
CSA is short for community supported agriculture. This is a direct one on one relationship in which the consumer pays in advance for a share of produce for the growing season. This is beneficial because it guarantees a market for the farmer’s product, reduces some of the risks associated with farming as well as helps reduce waste.
What types of CSA packages do you offer?
We are proud to offer two types of ‘shares’ for our customers:
- A Family Share feeds 4-5 people per week.
- A Couple’s Share feeds 2-3 people per week.
Our CSA will give you 20 weeks of certified organic local produce!
