CSA Shares Now Available

Hey all,

I wanted to let you all know that I am now offering CSA shares for the 2012 season. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. The idea is that community members help pay the up front annual cost of seeding and planting on a particular farm, and in exchange they receive a portion of the harvest.

It's an old tradition that is catching on like wildfire as people turn away from long haul conventional farm products in favor of locally produced small or specialty farm foods.But it does require effort by both consumer and farmer to make it work.

CSA "shares" are sold early in the year, usually January, before seeding starts. This gives the farmer much needed capital early in the season when costs are highest. Harvest will then begin probably late April or May, depending on what the farm is growing, and last well into Fall or early Winter.

For more information please follow the CSA link at the top of the page. I am only offering 25 shares to start (these can be divided into half shares) so please do not hesitate to jump on the veggie wagon. I will be growing a wide assortment of produce, and will also be offering bread and egg shares.
