wait, what's a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. At the heart of the relationship is a mutually beneficial agreement between the farmer and their community members. This farming model has somewhat mysterious beginnings, and is said to have originated with the Biodynamic Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, and to have been actively cultivated in post WWII Europe in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's.
CSA programs also starting popping up in Chili and Japan in the 1970's.
It wasn't until the 1980's that the first American CSA farms started offering farm direct food shares to their communities, and CSA's have been spreading across the country ever since. While there is no official count of how many CSA farms there are in the U.S., Local Harvest lists at least 7,600.
All farms' CSA's are slightly different to meet the individual needs of the farm and community, but all offer you an opportunity to be part of a grassroots, farm direct food community, that assures you a share of the farms bounty that is often not subject to the same challenges of the ebb and flow of the national supply chain. Members also get to know their farmers and where their food comes from and participate in special CSA member farm events.
Our CSA members pay in advance, when we need funds to buy seeds, make capital improvements, hire labor, and prepare fields for crops. The farm food will start flowing to you in June and we will feed you all the way through November. Our food is certified organic, and is grown with consideration and appreciation for the ecosystem that supports us.
