Is CSA For You?
In a CSA you will know your farmer and where your food comes from. This direct relationship to your food and its grower re-establishes the trusting relationships of small town communities. Buying local and direct is important in a time when big business is taking over the little guys. In a CSA, you are part of the farm. You help nurture it, with your funds, your support, and your efforts. You feel the effects of a dry spell, and the bounty from a good season. Your food is garden fresh, without the time commitment of growing a large garden. You meet other people in the fields, who also delight in what the box of vegetables and herbs will bring to their tables this week. And at our CSA, you hear good music too!
House in the Woods is the farm for you if…
…you would delight in the variety of veggies that comes in your weekly share box. You may find striped tomatoes or purple kohlrabi amongst the more recognizable produce. We are growing as many heirloom varieties as possible and prioritizing taste over looks. Explore the possibilities of interesting vegetables and new recipes!
…you are looking for a farm experience. We seek folks who think farm participation will be fun, not a burden. Those who are not interested in helping on the farm will be happier with a different CSA or a Farmers Market.
…you are excited to support a local farm directly. CSA is the best way to support sustainable agriculture and preserve farmland in your community!
We hope this helps you make an educated choice. Please talk to us about whether CSA might work for you!
