CSA Farming | |||||||
Community Supported Agriculture is an innovative way to connect with a local farm for fresh, great tasting produce which has been grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Households or individuals purchase shares prior to the growing season. In return, Sunny Sky Farm provides members with 21 weeks of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers beginning in early June. Each weeks offerings are unique, determined by the weather of the current season, the microclimate of the garden, and the knowledge, skill, cultural techniques and planting schedules of the gardeners. I encourage you to follow the above link for more in depth information about CSA, especially the two articles from The New Farm online magazine. Your weekly box will include the Sunny Sky Flyer, our popular newsletter/recipe sheet which is your weekly link and info source about the produce in your box, how to use it, and what is current and upcoming at the farm. Sunny Sky Farm promotes seasonal eating, eating locally purchased food, and growing methods which build soil and eschew petrochemical inputs. Please join us at Sunny Sky Farm for our 13th season and help support an alternative to our conventional food system. Do your part... eat locally and think globally! | |||||||
Our tentative start date is Thursday, June 5th. Everyone will be notified ahead of time to confirm drop spot times and locations. We expect to harvest head lettuce, chard, spinach, salad mix, rhubarb and radishes. We have room for only 15 more members as of 5/14/08. The 2008 brochure with the sign up form is available. We have our 5 little pigs now... boy do they plow! We just got our 35 pullet layer chicks also. They will be housed in a straw bale structure • Check out our new page of farm pictures. • Powered by waste grease... Biodiesel at SSF • Any other questions? contact us | |||||||
