Farmers Mark and Joanie are excited to announce the 2011 CSA. A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a program where we offer customers fresh-picked USDA certified organic produce by purchasing a share of the season’s harvest in advance. By participating in a CSA, customers become dedicated to sustaining the farm by supplying capital for start-up expenses, (farm labor, seeds, potting soil, utilities, greenhouse supplies, stakes, etc.) that need to be paid before the first crop is harvested. This year a share entitles our members to fresh produce, vegetable, flower and herb plants, fresh-cut flowers, and all other products available in our farm store (honey, maple syrup, goat cheese & goat soap, jams, baked goods, seasonally prepared foods, etc.). Members will be able to choose what’s in their share anytime the farm store is open from May through October. We strive for a wide variety of USDA certified organic produce throughout the season. A major benefit to this program is its flexibility. You select what you want when you want it!
