CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture is a direct partnership between the farm and its consumers. Typically, the consumer (or shareholder) pays the farm ahead of time in exchange for a ‘share’ or weekly box containing products from the farm. Prepayment to the farm ensures that there is much needed incoming cashflow for seeds, equipment, and labor throughout the offseason. In exchange, the farm provides shareholders with a weekly box of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables.
Our Spring/Summer CSA is 22 weeks long and begins in mid June. Each weekly share contains 7-10 items harvested at the peak of freshness. One share contains roughly the amount to last about a week for a non-vegetarian family of 2. Larger families and vegetarians usually purchase extra shares.
