Come join us as we build a community of citizens with the shared goal of having a plentiful, regular supply of the freshest and most healthful produce available. All grown right here on our farm in Deerfield.
As we enter our fourth year, we would like to say thank you to each of our members for your continued support, and fellowship. Members from 2010 are automatically eligible for membership in 2011. We are currently gearing up for the main growing season, and will be contacting you soon!
This year we will be adding new members as well, so to anyone wishing to join us this season, please email us and we'll add you to our list. Thanks!
NOTE TO MEMBERS FROM LAST YEAR:
If you are indeed interested in renewing your membership for 2011, please notify us of your intent by April 8. After that date, we will be opening up membership to the community at large, starting with those folks on the waiting list from last year. You still will be eligible to sign up after that time, if there are any spots still available.
We are currently accepting deposits of $300,
due by April 22, 2011, with the remainder ($300) due on
June 3, 2010.
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) provides a direct link between a local farmer and citizens who are interested in purchasing a regular supply of the freshest and most healthful produce available anywhere. Each season, members purchase a share of the crops before they are planted. Think of it as a subscription. This allows the farmer to pay for growing expenses in advance, making the whole endeavor financially possible for him in today’s economy.
Each week, CSA members are assured of receiving an equal share of that week's harvest. They need not hope to get to the Farmers' Market early enough to get "the good stuff". They know in advance what they will be receiving each week, and that it will be of top quality.
