We are a NOFA Certified Organic small family farm, providing fresh vegetables, flowers and herbs to our local community. A CSA is an attempt to provide a cooperative association between the farmer and the consumer. By directly connecting farmers and consumers, CSA,s improve access to high quality, fresh, local food. It re-creates the economic basis of farming, and acknowledges the valuable services of farming and tending the earth. Through dialogue and cooperation we try to determine what the food needs of a community are and how the farm can meet those needs in a way that does not exploit either the land or those working the land.
Members form a contract with the farmer and pay in advance for a share of the season's harvest.
The share price covers the coming season's cost of seed, planting, harvesting, building soil fertility, and hopefully providing a living wage for the farmers. The type of produce available at any one time will vary throughout the season. Food not picked up during the distribution will be donated to local food pantries. We are losing about 1,000 farms each year, or about 20 farms each week. Over 1000 square miles of active NY Farmland were lost between 1982-1991.
