What is CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and it is a growing global trend towards local production and consumption.
CSA members buy a share at the beginning of the season and this money is used by the farmer
to purchase seed and grow a crop of delicious fruits and vegetables. If mother nature cooperates, the CSA member will receive more than their money’s worth. However being a CSA member means you share in both the risks and rewards of farming.
What Does our CSA involve?
When your family registers for our CSA you will receive 18 veggie bins over a 23 week growing season. The bins will be available for pickup from the Farm once a week on Wednesdays. Time to be determined.
Delivery of the CSA Box to your house is available if you live within 4km of the farm.

What's in a Bin?
Bin size and content will vary with the season. A box will typically vary in size between 10 and 30 pounds. Why the large variation? In the early season your box will mostly be made up of salad greens, beans, peas, tomatoes, brassicas and other early season crops. As the season progresses, more and more larger crops will become ready for harvest; for example squash, apples, pumpkins, zucchini, potatoes.
