A CSA Farm is a great way to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. You can purchase a share (i.e. membership) from a farmer for an upfront cost. The cost varies depending on the size in the share and pick up or delivery option. Our CSA shares cost between $280 and $535.
When joining a CSA, you need to understand that the membership has a shared risk. If the farm gets bad weather, like a hailstorm in the summer, they may lose some crop. The idea of shared risk is what creates a sense of community and a stronger connection to the farm.
You can think of it as you pay us to grow a garden for you.
Our CSA fresh produce is grow using two methods, outside and inside in High Tunnels. Much of our outside produce we use Plastic mulch for weed protection and Drip irrigation or traveling gun. We have 4 high tunnels (totaling 9210sq ft) each with drip irrigation and plastic much; high tunnels protect the plants from frost, hail and cool weather to give a longer growing season in a more controlled environment. We continue to build our soil using a base of natural turkey fertilizer to increase soil organic matter and microbial activity. Then adding the missing elements to the soil to help us grown Farm Fresh, locally grown nutritionally dense, tasty fruits & Vegetables. We use organic labeled insect and disease sprays to protect plants from insects and disease. We have over 7 acre of fruits and vegetables under cultivation.
Our CSA farm offer members the opportunity at the end of the season, to purchase surplus Bulk Produce at very low prices.
