CSA Weekly Produce Boxes
We are full for the 2010 season.
Leave your name and number in case later in the season we can sell a few more shares. Thanks everyone for your support! Nancy and Carl
This year, Fresh To You Produce & Garden Center is starting a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) weekly box of produce. We are coming full circle, since this is how Fresh To You started-that’s how we chose the name!
What is CSA?
CSA Stands for Community Supported Agriculture - farmers and consumers having a relationship around food production. By becoming a member of our CSA you will receive a weekly box full of delicious, seasonal produce.
We will provide a weekly newsletter and recipes with each box of food, so that you will be able prepare your produce easily and hear about what is happening on our small farm. We will have farm tour days and other opportunities to gather together throughout the year.
How much produce will you get?
Not only do you save time by having your box ready for you, it is also an economical way to buy because you get more than $20.00 worth of produce each week. We will supplement the boxes with produce from some of our neighboring farms to expand the selection.

Why Join A CSA?
To support a farm that will provide you with healthy, locally grown produce. Your membership supports land that is cared for using sustainable methods. We feel the link between food, farm and families is one that needs to be strengthened at this time in our history. You will experience the seasonality of food—early spring crops vary greatly from the bounty of summer harvests. Plus, you may get more of some things than others due to weather, etc. That is the beauty of sharing in the harvest!
We use compost, crop rotation, cover crops, drip irrigation, and beneficial insects to maintain the health of our soil for future generations.
You can be sure that we choose varieties of vegetables and fruit for their flavor, and pick them when they are ripe—full of flavor and nutrients. Your family’s health will glow with good nutrition.
There will be enough for a family of 4 or 2 that eat a lot of produce!
