What's CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
When you sign up, you sign up to be a part of our farm for a small part of it or for the whole season.
A CSA box is a weekly subscription that lasts for 8 or 10 weeks.
During those weeks you will receive an abundance of freshly grown in season crops. You'll learn what it looks like to eat with the seasons.
You'll experience the successes and failures of the farm through weekly newsletters that give a run down on the goings on at the farm and in the fields. Sometimes a crop fails and you'll receive more of something else that week. Boxes will sometimes be leaner and sometimes be more full than the chosen box amount due to weather or circumstances out of our control, but it will always be made up for in a future box.
When you sign up for a Spring, Summer or a Fall share, you commit to the 10 or 8 weeks that it runs for.
