We are excited to announce that our 2014 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) registration is OPEN! This is our 3rd year offering our CSA and it is sure to be the best yet! We have learned a lot each year, and put those lessons into practice each season.
If you are not familiar with a CSA, read on. CSAs are becoming more popular in the USA, with a 2007 survey showing more than 12,500 farms participating. Surely, there are a lot more now. Sitka Springs is the only Lincoln County farm offering a CSA program!
CSAs are made up of individuals or families who pledge their support of our farm for a season, by purchasing a share. Shares are sold in advance of the growing season, allowing the farmer to invest in the year's seeds, fertilizers, compost, and farming structures. Shareholders then receive a weekly bag of the freshest food available (chosen by the farmer) for 20 weeks, during the height of the season (June-October). The shareholders and farmers then share the risk and return on the investment.
You will love joining our CSA if you like the idea of getting to know your farmers, trying new and interesting foods, supporting a local family, participating in your local food economy, eating fresh and seasonally. We offer opportunities to volunteer on the farm, so you can get a close and personal look at how it works and how much work it is! We send out newsletters that contain news from the farm, as well as recipes, and cooking tips.
Visit our What We Grow page for an idea of what we hope to be able to offer. Please keep in mind, many of these items are only available for a short season. Visit our CSA FAQ and CSA Sign Up pages for more specific information about cost and delivery options.
Community is the key to success in small business, and a small farm is no different. We all rely on each other for support, whether it be monetarily, spreading word of mouth, sharing our news, or just telling each other we are appreciated. So with that, we appreciate you reading our blog, sharing our Facebook posts, and telling your friends about our family farm. We couldn't do it without you!
