It's More Than Just Vegetables

Real Food
We believe you and your family deserve the highest quality food and that's why we use environmentally sustainable, biodynamic growing techniques. We use no herbicides or synthetic chemical fertilizers of any kind. In extreme cases when it is necessary to use a spray on our vegetables, we use only organically approved pesticides and then very sparingly. We see our farms as a living system, where its elements work together to build and maintain soil fertility. Through a balanced crop rotation and a strict composting and cover cropping system, we leave our land better than we found it.

Naturally Grown
Meets or surpasses organic methods using what Mother Nature provides. Leaves, grasses, straw and other plant materials are used for omposting and mulching. Crops are fertilized with items such as fish, kelp and cover crops. Insects are controlled by the use of row covers, hand picking, companion planting and beneficial insects.

An Eating Adventure
In general, if you enjoy cooking and being challenged in the kitchen to try new vegetables you will have a good experience. We encourage CSA members to treat their season as they would a continuing education experience. Try new things in the kitchen; ask us how we prepare swiss chard or hakari turnips. Be excited about what is coming. In the weekly e-newsletter you will receive recipes and cooking suggestions for the current week’s produce.

Share Prices
Shares are now offered on a "debit system". That means no more "missed share penalty" and you select items weekly in quantities which more closely match your family's eating style and requirements. We are excited about our new on-line ordering system which will alllow subscribers to view products and create their own "A La Carte" selection. Or, if you prefer to "Buy The Box" we will prepare a selection of farm fresh produce for you. Deliveries to office or home are available in select zip codes. Ask for details via email. Send us an email at Abbeystone0430@wildblue.net In addition to a great selection of vegetables and fruit, you may select eggs, cheese (Chevre or fresh Mozzarella), bread, honey, jam and locally grown meat (beef, lamb, pork, and poultry) to your share at no additional cost.
