What is CSA?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is a way for people to connect directly with their farmer. In essence, you pay for a season’s worth of fresh produce at the beginning of the year, guaranteeing you a weekly delivery of quality, local food from your farmer.

Why is Community Supported Agriculture Important?

  • CSA provides consumers an opportunity to eat quality, local food that is fresh, nutritious, and oftentimes not available anywhere else.

  • CSA puts “the farmers face on food” and increases understanding of how, where, and by whom your food is grown.

  • CSA keeps food dollars in the local community and contributes to the development and maintenance of regional food systems.

  • CSAs allow farmers to invest their time in doing the best job they can producing nutritious food rather than marketing their products.

  • CSA support the biodiversity of a given farm and the diversity of agriculture.  Our farm will grow more than 90 different food products for sale this year.  Most farms grow just two–corn and soybeans.  If you were a bird, where would you rather live?
