CSA
Community Supported Agriculture

A CSA is a subscription based farm fresh food program, that brings consumers together with a
local farmer. The consumer purchases in advance shares of the farm's next season's harvest.
In return for this investment the shareholder receives a weekly share of the best tasting,
freshest possible, locally grown produce.

FAQ

How much produce can I expect in my weekly share?
You will receive approximately 1/2 bushel per week for a full summer share and 1/2 bushel every other week for a
winter share. This should be enough for a family of four, or for two vegetarians. A half share is approximately half of a
full share, and should feed two persons or one vegetarian. However, the amounts and varieties will vary over the coarse
of the season.

Where can I pick-up my share?
Shares can be picked up at the farm. However, when you purchase your share you may arrange delivery to one of
several area pick-up points. A delivery charge will be added to your share for this option.

Can I have my share delivered to my home?
Yes. Home delivery can be arranged.
