What is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture or CSA is essentially a connection that is built between the consumer and their local farmer. By becoming a CSA member you support local farmers by paying an annual fee for fresh organic produce. These fees help the farmer purchase supplies such as seeds, water, equipment, and pay for labor. In return you receive hand picked seasonal certified organic produce weekly for the entire season. A CSA program allows consumers to support their local farmers and be insured they will receive the freshest produce available.
Join our CSA
Our 2012 CSA season runs for 20 weeks from June to October.
Your box of organic produce will include a variety of fruits and vegetables. Our Harvest Calender has a list of fruits and vegetables we will growing this season and the expected harvest dates. Due to weather conditions beyond our control the dates of availability are subject to change. We will do our best to give you a wide variety of produce in each box.

Pick Up Locations:
Please bare with me for a couple of runs. I have no idea how many boxes I will be unloading at each place. I have tried to approximate my drop off times from my past deliveries. However, if it rains, the fields will be bad and the produce will need to be washed twice and dried, this in turn may take a tad longer. Also I have a long stretch of road to drive behind horse and buggies. I am just asking in advance for your understanding if I am a little late on my deliveries. Also, I will leave a list at the drop off sites, please check off your name when you pick up your share. Thank you Mickieann
