What is Community Supported Agriculture or CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a consumer based movement which allows families to directly access farm fresh produce, while simultaneously supporting sound agriculture practices and the local economy.
How much does it cost for a share?
An annual share costs $200.00. For every share purchased by April 15th you will receive an additional $25.00 shopping credit towards our products. If you buy 2 shares that is $450.00 you will have to shop at our farm stands. You will receive a Gift Card with your CSA value to use at our farm stands.
