Food for Thought

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. We are also non-GMO, for that matter. Fundamentally, it’s a matter of synthetic vs. natural. The organic philosophy is founded on the value 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. If we wouldn't feed it to our babies, we wouldn't feed it to you either.
