 The aim of Community Supported Agriculture is to build a healthy community by providing a local, organic food supply and re-establishing a relationship between the community and the farmer, increasing community involvement in food production and in the health of the local economy and environment. For complete information, see our CSA brochure and listen to our radio ad.
Why buy your meat and produce with a CSA?
CSA offers monthly shares of seasonal produce--fruits, vegetables
and herbs--as well as meat shares of chicken, beef, pork and
lamb. With Community Supported Agricuture you are buying locally,
sustainably grown food, and supporting your local farmer. Read
the Vineyard Gazette article about our CSA.
