New! CSA Project for the 2005 Season!
What is CSA??
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a type of cooperative farming that redefines the relationship between farmers and consumers. Its purpose is not only to provide consumers (shareholders) with the freshest possible organic produce, but also to build community and offer a connection to the
Earth.
Each shareholder (individual or family) pays the farmer a set fee in advance of the growing season. In return the farmer provides shareholders with a weekly bounty of produce from mid-May to mid-October. We plan to offer our shareholders access to additional farm products such as eggs, organic meats, honey, and flowers.
Shareholder visits are welcomed, and indeed expected at the farm as there will be many opportunities for both work (weeds!) and play (parties, potlucks) throughout the season.
We are excited about Silver Wheel Farm CSA, and we look forward to forging a partnership to build a community of farmers and friends.
