OUR CSA PROGRAM
What is CSA?
Community-Supported Agriculture – or “CSA” – is a model that closely connects producers and consumers within the food system by allowing consumers to subscribe to the harvest of a certain farm. By partaking in a farm’s CSA program, consumers purchase a “share” at the beginning of a growing season, and then, in turn, receive freshly picked produce during the growing season.
Shares are CLOSED for the 2023 season. Check back soon for 2024 details!
Each week, our shareholders can expect:
PRODUCE – fresh, seasonal produce and recipes
Each week (for a minimum of 12 weeks) between late-June and mid-September, our shareholders will receive boxes of fresh seasonal produce, depending on what is available and ripe. Our team works hard to plant a wide variety of produce that allows our shareholders to enjoy their favorite garden foods and also try new things. For an in-depth list of our produce options, see the list below.
Please note that the box contents are dependent on what is in season and may not be filled to the top each week. Late season boxes are fuller as more vegetables are ready to harvest. Additionally, each week’s box will include a suggested recipe that will accompany a seasonal item.
MISSION – newsletters, including employee stories and involvement opportunities
As a way to keep our shareholders up-to-date on the impact of their support, along with opportunities to attend events, volunteer, and stay connected, we will provide weekly informational newsletters. Because our CSA shareholders are the lifeblood of our organization and deeply support our mission of transforming disabilities into abilities, we want to keep them in the loop on farm happenings.
PRAYERS – devotionals and prayer requests, NEW in 2023!
Starting in 2023, our shareholders will receive weekly devotionals along with the opportunity to “link” into Farm in the Dell’s powerful prayer chain. Each box will include prayer requests from other shareholders in our CSA community, along with a space for them to include their own prayer requests. It is the natural result of our identity as Christians that we will pray for our shareholders, as well, and invite them to share in this intimacy with Christ through prayer.
