CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) enables small farmers to market their produce directly to the local community and the community to support their local farmer. It promotes sustainable farming and the provision of local, fresh healthy produce to teh commumity at affordable prices.
Dates:
In 2010 beginning June 25th and continuing each week for 15 weeks to October 1st, shareholders will receive generous supply of fresh produce sufficient for 1,2,3 or 4 persons according to the size of the share purchased.
Throughout the season you may receive regular email updates on farm news and produce available at the time.
If you wish to see your produce growing, you are welcome to visit us any daytime.
Voluntary help with the jobs involved in the growing process is also welcome.
How a CSA works:
