The CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) movement began some 40 years ago in
Japan. A group of
local women grew increasingly concerned about the decline of family farms and
the rise in food imports.
Out of this concern grew the idea of re-connecting with local growers…takei…
putting the farmers’ face on
the food.
The local community committed to local growers financial resources prior to
the growing season. In return for this commitment, folks
became “shareholders” in the farm’s production. By receiving capital
resources
in advance of the growing season and knowing the families for whom they were
growing, the farmers
were better able to plan for and buy supplies for the coming season.
Months prior to your first delivery, we are busy planning, planting and
tending crops for you. In return, you
will receive a weekly share of fresh, high quality produce that has minimal
impact on our planet's
resources by being raised naturally. |

Over the years the CSA model has evolved into many forms. Some CSA are
comprised of one farm families, others are a group of local, small family
owned farms. Whatever the model, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a
connection between a nearby farmer and the people who enjoy the food
that the farmer produces. The essence of the relationship is the mutual
commitment: The farm feeds the people; the people support the farm and share
the inherent risks and potential bounty.
Our CSA is a way for the community to create a relationship with us and
receive a weekly share of produce. Add-on shares which consist of eggs,
poultry, cheese, honey, and pasta, are available as well.
Every week at a pre-determined farmers market site your shares are available
for pick up. |
