The Community Supported Agriculture or otherwise known as CSA is the best way for our customers to get the best bang for the buck. It involves a 22 week distribution of what is in season from week to week. The produce boxes will always match or exceed the dollar amount paid. This website will post three to four days in advance what you can expect in the next distribution. This in turn allows you to avoid unnecessary shopping at alternative market places. It also allows you to shop for any additional ingredients for recipes. This distribution program enables us to afford the many start up and expansion costs of the farming season. For instance, we are now expanding greenhouse space to ensure a longer growing season for some of the harder to grow crops. We are also building a root cellar for storage of winter crops (potatoes, winter squash etc.). We are also building storage for the tractor and tools. Please consider the CSA route for your weekly vegetable needs. There are limited spaces available, so if you are interested please get your space reserved as soon as possible.

Organic method farm / CSA Farmers Market in Pocatello, Idaho. We provide some of the freshest, crispest, most flavorful chemical free vegetables in the area. We farm ten acres by means of crop rotation, nitrogen fixing cover crops, companion planting, intensive hand and mechanical weeding.

We are now in our third year of growing for the community and our families. We are now expanding our greenhouses by 100%. This year we will have 3800 square feet of growing space. Our greenhouses enable us to bring you numerous delicious varieties 4 to 6 weeks earlier than that of outdoor growing. After early season crops are finished inside the greenhouses, they are replaced with the hot season vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and summer squash.

This year we aim to minimize or even eliminate off-farm inputs. We will be producing our own green manure compost, worm castings, worm tea and nitrogen fixing cover crops.

We strive to become as sustainable and self-relient as possible. We hope that you are able to take advantage of our presence and ability to provide healthy safe food for you and your loved ones.
