What is a CSA? - Why Buy Local? - Why Buy Organic?

A CSA is the ability to sustain an agrarian culture. In other words, our culture is agrarian at its foundation, farmers provide most of the raw materials that feed and clothe us all, and our ability to sustain this agrarian foundation is critical to maintaining the current system where most people don’t have to grow, harvest and prepare their own food or fiber products.

We grow organically because we support a sustainable agriculture that is ecologically sound and economically viable. In addition, the food system must provide the most nutritious products, thus establishing a foundation for good health in our society and for future generations. We provide a bounty of products for relatively low prices.

CSA’s do not require families to participate in farm work, as a farm co-op would. CSA’s such as ours are carefully managed and therefore produce high quality. Occasionally we will include recipes. And, you can always ask our cooking advice! Each vegetable we grow has a history and many of them are unique varieties.
