Community Supported Agriculture

         
Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs) is a model where the consumer purchases a share of the farm's harvest up front and then receives a portion of that harvest every week for a set amount of time.  CSAs help to reconnect the customer with the source of their food and the farmers with the community.  

We have had a CSA program for 6 years now and strongly believe in the model.  We grow organic food for people that we know personally and who receive a portion of our harvest each week.  They visit the farm and see how we grow their food, we talk every week, we share recipes-it's great!

In 2012, we plan to rely more on our CSA programs and less on selling our farm products at farmer's markets.  We will have pick up locations in Winston-Salem, Clemmons, and possibly Statesville, Kernersville and Greensboro as well.  Want to start a CSA pick up at your place of businass?  As long as enough people join, we are glad to set up new/special pick up locations at hospitals, doctor's offices and office parks.  Contact us with your ideas!

Advantages for consumers:

• Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits of organic vegetables 
• Get exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking
• Get to visit the farm at least once a season
• Find that kids typically favor food from "their" farm – even veggies they've never been known to eat
• Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown

Advantages for farmers:

• Get to spend time marketing the food early in the year, before their 16 hour days in the field begin
• Receive payment early in the season, which helps with the farm's cash flow
• Have an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow-the BEST part!!!
