About Spangler CSA
- Spangler CSA
- Fair Grove, Missouri
- We are a family owned & operated CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) located just north of Springfield, MO. We provide our members with weekly shares of produce based on their membership agreement. Members will receive their weekly shares either on-site or at a Springfield location predisclosed to them. We do not support the use of GMO crops. Our use of safe & natural growing practices free us from the conventional use of harmful herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Membership Information
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.
