The contents of your Food or Flower CSA share will vary by season, by time of the year, and by what the weather is doing at the time. Our crops are all naturally grown. We don't use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We grow using only organic & sustainable methods. And we never knowingly use genetically modified seed. We believe in growing crops in season because they are of better quality, taste better, look prettier, last longer and allow us to properly tend the farm in a sustainable fashion.
We do plan our crops based primarily on what you tell us you like. This is part of what owning a subscription share means. Your input is balanced with what will grow well in our area.
The volume of food you receive for a food share will vary weekly in accordance with the season. With our current box size, you can expect to receive 4 to 6 different types of vegetables and herbs each week. The volume will be higher in the prime part of the season when the plants are better established than, for instance, in the beginning of the season when the plants are just beginning to produce. We will offer larger weekly volume subscription shares for future subscription terms as we gain CSA experience.
Your flower CSA share will consist of a seasonally changing bouquet of beautiful flowers. The value of your bouquet will be at least 10% more than your weekly subscription cost.
We are always trying to grow new & interesting crops, and sometimes we will have crop failures, a fact of life with farming. We will, however, do our best to grow the freshest, naturally grown crops possible as outlined in our seasonal plan.
