About Csa's CSA shares do vary a lot from one season to the next and even weekly due to changing growing conditions. A CSA is not a buying club to fill your pantry, although many members tell us they get enough to freeze or can for later use because they can't eat it all at once. A CSA does give you locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables to provide the nutritional benefits that studies have shown are more beneficial for better health. CSA's also boost the farmers capability to sustain local agriculture through profitability and providing a market for their crops. CSA's reduce transportation and imports, thus providing a GREENER footprint on the environment. Many of our customers like the variety their goody basket surprises them with each week. We try to provide a wide variety of good tasting anti-oxidant and vitamin rich freshness for your total satisfaction. |
