Exciting Things Are Happening

Technically, your produce begins the process of decomposition the moment it is picked. The more time that passes, the weaker the vitamins and nutritive enzymes become.  "Fresh” produce at a typical grocery store is often harvested immature, is weeks old, and therefore has lost much of its nutritional value, if it had any to begin with (think iceberg lettuce).  Even worse, many varieties are specifically bred and grown for the producers' best interests:  ship-ability and storage, not great flavor and nutrition. We are committed to growing varieties based on flavor and nutrition for the highest quality produce possible.  The very first and most important step is healthy soil through regenerative practices.

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. A CSA is more than just a weekly box of food, it's a powerful investment in your health, community, and local economy. 

We don't take 'cides' on this farm.  We flat-out forbid pesticides, herbicides, and 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. It's better to know your farmer by name.  

As long as it’s available, we will continue to purchase seed that has been verified to contain no cross-pollination contamination from genetically modified (GMO) varieties. GMOs are created when genetic material from one species is implanted into another species where it would never have naturally occurred through the use of genetic engineering. We fundamentally don’t trust genetically modified plants because of the lack of unbiased, diverse, long-term, and adequate research.
