2010 A.T. Buzby Farm Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Join our CSA program, and enjoy a weekly supply of locally-grown produce at a reasonable price. The program runs for twenty weeks.

Is This CSA For You?

Our CSA program is for people who like the idea of eating "in season", and realize that unlike a supermarket, every kind of produce is not always available. Some crops do well in the hot weather of summer, while others like the coolness of the fall.

We harvest enough produce for the number of people we have signed up. It's important that you come within your pick up time to ensure availability.

How Does the Program Work?

Choose a share size, (full or half). We will provide you with a bushel basket during the first week. You will bring back this basket each week to fill with the produce of your choice (some items may be limited during certain weeks.) There will be a sign posted to let you know of your allotment of each vegetable. There will be some flexibility in this. Once registered, don't forget to mark the starting date, as well as all the pickup days on your calendar! If you miss a pick up, we do not guarantee that you'll be able to make it up at a later time.

Start of Program

Our program will begin on May 11, 2010 and will run for 20 weeks. There will be two choices for pick up days. It is important to stick with the pick up day you choose.

Which Size to Choose?

-Our full share is ideal to feed 4-6 people.
-Our half share is ideal to feed 2-3 people.

Of course, the size share you need also depends on your commitment to eat fresh produce.

Please Note Before Registering:

In the event of catastrophic crop loss due to severe weather conditions, we may have to shorten the length of the CSA program. In such an occurrence, we will do all we can to overcome any crop damage. However, please be advised that that may not always be possible. By joining the program, you agree to share in such a risk should it occur, and will not expect any reimbursement for any lost weeks. If you do not wish to take that risk, please do not register.

Why CSA?

With only 2% of Americans actually producing food for the other 98%, people are increasingly separated from the source of their food. Community Supported Agriculture is a creative response to this crisis. It is a model that emphasizes locally-grown, which promotes a local economy, and a safe food system. Participation in a CSA leads to a deeper understanding of our interdependence on one another and the land. The farm supplies not only nutritious food, but also an opportunity for a community to come together to develop a sense of place, to reconnect with one another and the rhythms of the seasons, and to preserve open space as working farms.
