What is Community Supported Agriculture?

Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a term used to describe a special partnership between farmers and customers. Customers, also known as "shareholders," receive a weekly share of fresh, seasonal, chemical-free, non-genetically-engineered vegetables for an entire growing season.

In a CSA operation, shareholders and farmers share the risks of small-scale farming (such as unexpected weather conditions and pest damage) as well as benefits such as bumper crops (unexpected crop surplus).

What is the Duration of a Growing Season?

The growing season will include the months May – September. Produce yields will vary each month.

How Much Food is in a Share?

This can be difficult to project due to individual diet preferences. Typically, a full share feeds about 2 to 4 people on a mixed diet, or 1 to 2 vegetarians. Individuals who feel that a full share is too much for their needs are welcome to buy a half share or split a full share with a friend.

The tentative plan for the 2010 growing season:
Quantities will vary.

Broccoli. Zucchini. Carrots. Peas. Radishes. Spinach. Romaine Lettuce. Onions: red, white &/or yellow. Cucumbers.Okra. Potatoes. Sweet Corn. Green Beans. Cantaloupe.Sweet Peppers. Bell Peppers. Tomatoes. Watermelons.Blackberries. Peanuts. Pumpkins.

How Much Does a Share Cost In 2010?
Full Share: $475.00
Half Share: $275.00
There are 20 shareholder options available for the 2010 growing season.
