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, 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.

Real Prices
Our prices are based solely on the costs of production which are kept to a minimum since we deal directly with you. We are working to ensure our farms are economically sustainable.

Naturally Grown
Meets or surpasses organic methods using what Mother Nature provides. Leaves, grasses, straw and other plant materials are used for composting 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.
