CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)

Benefits of a CSA for the Customer

• knowing the farmer that grew the food that you are feeding your family
• Ultra fresh veggies- picked within hours of pickup
• Trying new produce or recipes that you wouldn't have even thought of before
• normally CSA shareholders receive more produce than your share is worth ( when the harvest
  is plentiful we share the bounty with you )

Farmer Benefits

• Money to begin the growing season with early ( CSA payments are normally due in late
  winter)
• More time spent growing and planning and less time spent traveling to markets to sell
• Easier for planning since some of the harvest is pre-sold before being planted
