 Community
Supported Agriculture connects the consumer to the farmer, each
committing to a seasonal contract. We, as your farmers, grow a variety
of vegetables, herbs and fruits sustainably without the use of synthetic
pesticides , herbicides or fertilizers . You, as a member, purchase
a share of the season's harvest in advance. From May to October
we will provide you with a box of freshly harvested produce from
our farm every week. The contents will vary as the seasons change
and different produce ripens.
The Risk
When a share is purchased, the member accepts a risk of crop failure.
Our crop insurance is growing a large variety, so that it is unlikely
for more than a few crops to suffer during the season.
Your Investment
 The
2010 CSA season is 21 weeks. Your share price for the season will
cost $500. Your share investment is the seed money for our farmingyear, paying for soil amendments, seeds, and labor to get the ball
rolling in the spring. If you will be missing a week, please encourage
a friend to enjoy your share. For an additional $125 a bouquet of
fresh flowers will be included.
The Details
Boxes will be available May 12th - Sept
29th.
There are 2 locations in Fairview, the farm and Trout Lily Market,
on Wednesdays from 2:30-6:30 pm .
If you would rather pick up in Asheville, boxes are also available
at the Wednesday Farmer's Market at the French Broad Food Co-Op
from 2-6pm. or Saturday mornings at UNCA and Asheville City Market.
These options will be reserved on a first come, first served basis,
with the majority of the shares available on Wednesday.
