Exciting Things Are Happening

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a direct relationship between a farmer and consumer. A farm offers a certain number of "shares" of its produce to consumers, who pay a flat rate at the beginning of the growing season, when farmers need financial stability the most. The members or shareholders then receive a weekly share of the farm's produce throughout the season; in this way, the members share the risks and benefits of growing food with the farm owner.  Risks include crop failure, while benefits include wonderfully fresh, nutritious, locally grown produce each week--without concerns of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, preservatives, or chemical fertilizers of any kind. More than just a weekly box of food, a CSA it's a powerful investment in your health, community, and local economy. 

Technically, produce begins the process of decomposition the moment it is harvested. The more time that passes, the weaker the vitamins and nutritive enzymes become.  "Fresh” produce at a typical grocery store is often harvested immature (think tomatoes) and is sitting around, gradually declining in nutritional value if it even had any to begin with (think iceberg lettuce).  Moreover, many are specifically bred and grown for big-Ag's best interests:  being storable and shippable--not for great flavor and nutrition. The bottom line:  We are committed to growing nutrient dense produce and healthy soil through regenerative practices.

We don't take 'cides' on this farm:  No GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, or  fungicides. Fundamentally, it’s a matter of synthetic vs. natural. The regenerative-organic philosophy is rooted in the virtue of a naturally healthy, diverse environment that can produce for generations. With healthy soil, you get healthy food. The USDA government-certified organic label is simply cost prohibitive for the small farmer. We believe it's better to know your farmer by name.
