Thank you for visiting. Our 2008 season is SOLD OUT.
We are a membership or CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farming operation, providing a direct connection between the farmers and the people who enjoy eating fresh, seasonal produce grown at the farm.
You join our farm by purchasing a portion, or “share,” of the season’s bounty. In return for your financial support early in the season, we plant and nurture an assortment of vegetables, herbs, some fruit and flowers. From June to November, we harvest the produce at its peak of flavor and nutrition in the morning, and you pick it up that afternoon. Fresh and convenient!
As a member, you get to know who’s growing your food and the methods we use. You have the satisfaction of knowing that your food is free from chemical fertilizers, pesticides and genetic engineering. Your membership supports locally- grown, high quality, custom-harvested food, and it benefits us all. Joining our farming operation is ideal if you are interested in eating seasonally, and supporting local farmers. We are growing a strong community in addition to growing healthy food!
