By purchasing a share of our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
we form a relationship with you and you get to know the people who grow your food, thereby continuing a farmer to customer tradition that began years ago. Becoming a share holder makes a statement for supporting local family farms that grow the highest quality food.
Your support is also a financial commitment. It enables us to prepare for the needs of the farm so that we can all enjoy the bounty for years to come.

Full shares: offered every week for 20 weeks of the farm's harvest from June 9th until October
20th. Your share is a 5/9 bushel box filled with 7-12 delicious items. $585.00
