Sign up is now open for 2012 CSA shares.

Community Supported Agriculture is a connection between a nearby farmer and the people who eat the food the farmer produces. The farm provides fresh produce, the people support the farm and share the risks and potential bounty. Your membership helps to pay for seeds, water, equipment and labor in the early season and in return the farm provides fresh produce each week for 20 weeks starting the last week of May.

To sign up print the sign up sheet and mail with your payment. Thanks.
