Agriculture
2016
We are welcoming you to join our CSA. We
will provide a box of fresh certified organic
fruit, herbs and vegetables on a weekly basis
for 15 weeks starting June 30th to October 6th
This year we are happy to provide a 20 box
program which will reflect a more seasonal
diet including 5 chickens and preserves. After
the 15 weekly boxes the 20 box program will
continue to be delivered to your home every
second week starting October 20th, November
3rd, and 17th, December 1st and 15th.
A CSA doesn’t always allow for the produce
we want when we want it. However, it always
allows the access to fresh, organic seasonal
produce that nature provides when she pro-
vides it. A weekly newsletter informs of what
can be expected each week and ideas for how
to enjoy it.

need to determine how many shareholders

our seeds in January. We start our plants in
our certified organic greenhouse. Please
sign up early so we can plant enough for
everyone.
Shared farming is about community.
*You get ultra fresh, certified organic
foods.
*You get exposed to new vegetables
and new ways of cooking.
* You develop a
relationship with
the farmer who
grows your food
and learn more
about how food
is grown. *You
rekindle the an-
cient wisdom of
the benefits of
eating locally
and seasonally.
*You connect
with nature’s
best practices.
Our chickens spend the summer out-
side. They scratch, till, fertilize and
provide eggs-tra benefits.
Is the CSA for me?
We look forward to this venture together
and thank you in advance for your
support You will receive a letter of
