Before the growing season kicks off, you meet with a farmer and purchase share(s) directly. These shares guarantee membership and receipt of fresh foods from the farmer when ready for consumption.

Once the farmer receives funds from the sold shares, they can cover initial costs for the growing season. These costs include seeds, labor, and some operations required to ensure a healthy yield.

The farmer will then spend the season carefully maintaining and growing a variety of healthy foods. This yield is specifically grown for CSA members with purchased shares.

As a member of the CSA, you should receive the yield (once ready) on a regular basis. You will have the opportunity to receive fresh produce, grains, or anything else provided by the local farmer you met!
