CSA Information

What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a unique partnership between consumers and farmers. Members purchase a share at the beginning of the season in exchange for a weekly supply of fresh, seasonal produce. A CSA is great for those people who enjoy cooking and eating healthy, responsibly grown fruits and vegetables. It’s also a great way to support your local food system and to get to know the people and land behind it.

 

What We Grow

We grow over 100 different varieties of fruits and vegetables using regenerative practices . From spinach in the spring, to tomatoes in the summer and carrots in fall, we grow just about everything (or try to) under the sun.

 

Meet the Farmers

Jordan and Whitney Clasen have a passion for farming and providing their community with fresh, local food.
