LOCAL HARVEST CSA 2008

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) links you with your food, the farmers who grow and produce your food and the land on which it is grown.  You become a member by paying in advance for a season’s worth of vegetables grown on a small family farm, and the growers provide a regular supply of high-quality and fresh food at an affordable price. Through Local Harvest CSA, you can purchase vegetables, eggs, flowers and other products such as pork and lamb. Originating in Japan, CSAs are called teikei: food with the farmer’s face on it.

We growers of Local Harvest CSA are committed to sustainable agriculture: supporting new and existing local farms and farm families, preserving and building the soil for the future, and providing wholesome food directly to the consumer. In promoting a dialogue between town and farm, we growers continually offer our land, knowledge and experiences to our members.
