We are now taking applications for 10 "Working CSA" packages until January 1st, 2014. We are ONLY taking 'working' applications right now and will open up the available non-working applications soon.
Our CSA packages have an approximate retail value of $25 and will contain Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs grown on the farm. You have to option to choose to add Organic, Free Range Eggs and Grass-fed Beef or Chevon (goat) or Free-Range Poultry. Often you will also be able to 'choose' what actually is included in your weekly boxes.
For more information see our Pages on CSA or PRODUCTS WE GROW.
'Work' will include: Planting, Weeding, picking, animal care and more! Great fun work!
My family and I really enjoy our CSA boxes. Every week, there is a fresh supply of wonderful food and it often includes a new "treat" for us to try. We have tried several new foods because of this and have found that we actually enjoy beets, for example (OK, not everyone and we like them best roasted!). We also appreciate the fact that through the CSA we know who grows our food, how it was grown and how fresh it is! We've learned that produce bought in a conventional store, no matter how fresh, simply doesn't "last" as long as that in our CSA box, because it has spent most of it's time in transportation and storage somewhere else. We highly recommend trying a CSA! BKK, Julian, NE
