What is a CSA?
Community Shared Agriculture is a relationship between you, the person accessing food to nourish your body and the farmer, the person or people growing your food. A CSA is about our relationship and sharing values.
In a CSA model, it is also about taking care of each other and taking care of the earth. It is about investing in where your food comes from, learning, knowing, trusting, tasting, and experiencing the farm, the food, and the community. Food is powerful. Where you choose to get your food from has an impact that creates many ripples.
Our CSA offers members year-round and seasonal options of vegetables, meat, fruit, and eggs. Farming is hard work and does require commitment from planning all the way to harvest and storing of crops or caring for animals. A CSA model requires a very large amount of commitment from both the farmer and the eater. We encourage you to look over our social media and website, talk to people, talk to us, come visit the farm. We look forward to sharing the seasons with you, not one season but many. I invite you to think of joining a CSA as a new way to live life. A commitment to good food that takes care of not only our body, but of our heart and soul too.
