Community Supported Agriculture
What is a Farm Share (CSA)?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) or Farm Share is one of the best ways to support our farm! This model offers our farm support in the early parts of the season when we need it most. Your commitment and advance pay allows us to purchase seeds, soil, pots, compost, repair greenhouses and more.
This season our bigger farm goals are to build stronger greenhouses to withstand the storms, purchase a farm delivery vehicle and build a new farmstand with fridge for easy pickups and daily access to all of our produce available throughout the season!
Our Farm Share is a 17 week commitment where customers receive an abundant Veggie Box of all of our seasonal produce! We grow everything on a 1/2 acre with love and care. We use NO sprays or pesticides.
We have had 12 participants in 2023 and 2024 this year we hope to have 25 community shares!
What Farm Shares offer:
-
Access to affordable locally grown produce
-
The chance to connect to your farmers and the land
-
Fresh, delicious, hand-grown and picked veggies, fruits and herbs!
-
A weekly share of diverse, seasonal produce
