Our Growing Practices

We are maximizing our resources in order to offer this many options and All Natural is the way to go for us.

WHY THE BUY-IN?
A Community Sponsored Agriculture program- Preorder Bag is the best way for us to pursue our goal. The PreOrder Bag fronts costs that the farmer normally has to borrow funds for at the beginning of the growing season. This creates cash flow during the critical time to get all the offerings planted and growing, as well as continue to grow the farm with sustainable infrastructure. Check out our website for how your funds directly affect what we are able to offer each year and the long term improvements we are tackling.

Risk & Reward of Crop Share
Sharing in the RISK OF CROP FAILURE
We promise to do our best to provide a bountiful bag each week. The quantity of produce, however, may vary from week to week or month to month. Due to weather, we may cover one crop for another that is currently producing to keep the amounts consistent throughout the season. We may also purchase from another farm for variety or to supplement. We only partner with other farms with similar growing practices.
Sharing in the REWARD OF CROP SURPLUS
In the event of a bumper crop. (Which will be fantastic!). Additional crops will be available for purchase via our web store or on site at the farm. We may also choose to wholesale to other local vendors. You may see products not received with the $20 Brown Paper Bag. This is normal as some products go directly to market. Although they are usually available as add ons during harvest.
