It's a deal: you promise to eat, we promise to grow
We offer to cultivate this land with good intention and share the rewards with you. In this arrangement, commonly described as community supported agriculture, consumers sign up and pay to become garden shareholders in late winter. When the harvest share begins, shareholders receive a weekly distribution of delicious vegetables. Shareholders do not know what they are getting in advance, but they know it will be nutritious seasonal local bounty.
Why would anyone do this?
In this new era of awareness regarding industrial farm practices, nutrition, and eating choices, many are looking for greater integrity and care in the process of production. Our food is very good, our practices exceptional. Your support of us is support of sustainable agriculture here in the heart of suburbia, where the challenges to making a viable farm enterprise are considerable. Be green, encourage food safety and security, and become more connected to the natural world by being connected to our garden/farm--a place where excessive rainfall, drought, ladybugs, cutworms, woodchucks and monarch butterflies are closely observed--and to us, who succeed or fail based upon our skill and luck at participating in this web of life.
