What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a model of food production and distribution that focuses on the relationship between producer and consumer. Producers plan for the needs of the consumer and the consumer supports the producer in this effort by purchasing a share of the harvest in advance. Through this model consumers become invested in and connected to the food they will eat while producers become encouraged and supported by the very folks they are working to provide food for.

 

Why join our CSA?

• You will have the convenience of a large selection of pasture-raised meat products at your fingertips; all tucked in the freezer and restocked each month.

• You will be assured that the meat and eggs you eat are from animals that were raised in sustainable, humane, and natural ways.

• You will be spending your food dollar to support a local farm that raises animals in a way that aligns with your own convictions.

• Members receive 10% off available products offered at market.

• Through our egg share option we will reserve eggs just for you from our limited supply.

 

What does the CSA share include?

• ​A share weighs 15 lbs. (+ or – ½ lb.) and is delivered monthly.

• We offer a chicken, beef, and pork share as well as a chicken and beef share.

• Shares are packed prior to delivery. Members do not know in advance of delivery what will be included.

• Members may not specify which products they would like their share to include, however, we ensure that each share has a wide variety of products. Visit our product page for a list of products.

​

Distribution Schedule

• Shares are distributed to CSA members on a predetermined date at a set location.

• Members are welcome to send someone in their place to receive their share if they are unable to be there.
