Community Supported Agriculture is basically the principle of pairing up local consumers who want fresh, local, organically raised food, with farmers who want a guaranteed outlet for their produce, with a fair return. A group or "community" of consumers supports a local farm by purchasing in advance, shares of that farm's next season's harvest. The farmer grows organic produce for this community and divides the harvest among shareholders. As a member you will enjoy this list of benefits:

* You receive a weekly share "box" filled with top quality produce! All produce is Certified Naturally Grown--raised without any synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides!

* You get copies of our favorite recipes, Mom will make sure that you know how to use everything that you receive!

* You support a local small farm, which in turn brings more money to local communities!

Besides receiving a weekly box of high-quality organically grown produce, shareholders also know that they're directly supporting a local farm. CSA's allow shareholders to re-establish a connection with the land that most people feel they've lost. To familiarize you with how your produce is raised, we will host days when you are invited to visit the farm and see first hand how your food is being produced. Recipes and other surprises will accompany your weekly baskets!

Full Shares consist of 25 weekly 1/2 bushel boxes of produce. There is a one time fee of $700.00, which averages out to only $28.00 per week! This size is recommended for families that have 3-4 people eating an "average" amount of vegetables.

Half Shares consist of 25 weekly 1/4 bushel boxes of produce. There is a one time fee of $500.00, which averages out to only $20.00 per week.! This size is recommended for families that have 1-2 people eating an "average" amount of vegetables.
