CSA
Community Supported Agriculture
2024 CSA runs May- November
What is CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. By joining, you become a vital partner with your local farmers and community. Purchasing your membership early in the year entitles you to receive your share of the year's harvest. It allows the farmers to plan successive plantings of crops and offers capital to ensure lower costs and better supply of fresh produce.
Why Join?
Being a member of our CSA program is a fantastic way to ensure that you receive a diverse selection of in-season, locally grown fruits and vegetables every week during our growing season. You won't need to wonder where your produce is coming from, as everything we put in our CSA boxes is grown locally and sustainably.
What to Expect:
Each week, your CSA box will contain 4-7 different produce items, carefully selected to represent the best of what's in season. Alongside your fresh produce, you'll also receive suggested recipes and storage tips to help you make the most of your bounty.
Freshness Guarantee:
Rest assured that your produce is always at its peak. We strive to pick, pack, and deliver your CSA box within a 24-48 hour time period, ensuring that you receive the freshest fruits and vegetables possible.
Join our CSA program today and become part of a vibrant community committed to supporting local agriculture and enjoying the delicious rewards of the harvest season!"
