If there is a bumper crop the consumer shares in it. If yields are low, a share will be a little less. With the CSA membership share, you do not pick and choose what you get with any particular pick up. You get a share of what has just been produced. This helps ensure the quality of the food you buy and helps reduce the cost by eliminating excessive paperwork.
Produce is grown without the use of any synthetic pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
All is grown with a great deal of care for the land, including rotations, composting, etc. Animals are pastured, with plenty of room to roam. They are never given hormones, and antibiotics are given ONLY when illness warrants it. Plus, the meat is naturally lean and delicious. By purchasing these CSA shares you are receiving high quality, reasonably priced food.
