Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, brings consumers and farmers together in a relationship of mutual support. Each member makes a commitment to support the farm throughout the season. In return, members receive a weekly box of fresh produce from late spring though early fall. In effect, the farmer and the shareholder literally share the risks and the bounty of the garden. Buyers get to see where their food comes from and have a vested interest in the land and the growers. The partnership allows the farmer to provide a wide variety of produce of the highest quality while keeping costs at or below supermarket prices. It's the freshest food for your family, literally from the field to the table.
At TG Farms CSA, members pay in advance of the season for a weekly share of the farm's harvest, from the end of April through the end of September. Shares contain a variety of seasonal foods, picked that morning. A share provides most of the salad and vegetable needs for a couple or a small family for a week.
A CSA share from TG Farms is more than good food. CSA members establish a connection with the food they eat, the land where it is grown, and the people who produce it. By doing so, they make a tangible commitment to local, sustainable, environmentally-sound agriculture, then literally reap the benefits. You, in effect, put your money where your mouth is.
There will be frequent updates on how to cook what's in your basket, as well as tips for drying and storing the food for later use.
The 2012 CSA share sales season has begun. We are still selling shares and would be happy to welcome you to our Real Food community.
For more information on the program, contact our farmer, Todd Griffith at TG Farms - 405-387-3276. If you email your request, please include your full name, mailing address, phone number, and whether you are interested in a small or large basket each week. There's also an opportunity to take part in an extended season for another seven weeks of fresh produce, including watermelons and cantaloupes. |
