We offer two CSA types; One Meat, One Produce. You can subscribe to one or both. They are dropped off at different locations, (in most cases) but very nearby each other. Our Meat CSA includes meat, poultry, eggs and yogurt. Our produce CSA offers certified organic fresh vegetables. 2012 Produce shares begin in June.

What is a CSA? In a CSA, you purchase a "share" in a local farm and receive periodic deliveries of local, delicious, fresh products. If you are looking for dates and are a current member, info can be found here...Info For Current Members.
Why is the CSA model important to farmers and consumers? A CSA, or subcription model provides farmers with a predictable understanding of how much product to produce, and consumers have the confidence that the product will be available every month. Many times at farmers markets we have disappointed customers by telling them we're out of chicken or eggs or steak. As a subscriber, we raise products just for you, and reserve it! This is particularly important with meat products, for several reasons. The cycle to produce meat is much longer than produce, so we know what to know well in advance. Also, distributing all of our meat can be done when we rotate our cuts through the CSA package.
About our Meat CSA: What will my family receive? Each delivery you will receive a generous variety of seasonal meat and poultry products. We will include the equivalent dollar value of season appropriate products. The most common question is exactly what you will get....We mix it up with seasonal products.
How are products delivered? All products are delivered frozen in a cooler according to USDA safe handling requirements for perishable foods. We are licensed as meat distributors and products are processed at local, family run USDA inspected facilities.
