What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
CSA, or community-supported agriculture, is a program based on a mutually beneficial relationship between the farm and the people who consume our food. This relationship allows the community to purchase directly from the farm and support local agriculture by buying seasonal food that is grown naturally, without the use of herbicides and pesticides. Families or individuals become members at the beginning of the season and in return receive a box of freshly harvested vegetables and fruits on a weekly basis...essentially purchasing "shares" of the farm's harvest in advance.
What's in the CSA box?
Our CSA boxes contain 6-8 different vegetables and fruits each week, depending on the season...
approximately one large paper grocery bag full of vegetables for $26 per week. Overall, our CSA boxes tend to include about 20% more food than this money would buy at a supermarket.
Spring/Fall CSA boxes may include: Kale, Chard, Lettuce, Beets, Carrots, Turnips, Radishes, Cabbage, Broccoli,
Winter Squash, Fennel, Arugula, Onions, Spinach, Tomatoes, Summer Squash, and Cucumbers, just to name a few.
Summer CSA boxes may include: Tomatoes (slicers and heirlooms), Cucumbers, Eggplant, Peppers, Potatoes,
Summer Squash, Onions, Garlic, Basil, Lettuce, Carrots, Beets, Melons, and Watermelons, etc.
