Farm Offerings |
|
CSA = community supported agriculture & is a dynamic farm movement over twenty years old, summed up as “share the bounty, share the risk.” CSA engages farmer & consumer in a relationship in which consumer members pledge annually to pay a share of the farm’s economic needs & in return receive a share of the produce in weekly harvests, as well as other farm-specific benefits. Early pledges & payments provide funds for expenses incurred before harvesting begins & throughout season. Members support the farm with a share of the budget & receive a share of the season’s harvest as a weekly harvest box, picked-up from a delivery site or on-farm. Included in each harvest is a delightful newsletter sharing farm news, recipes & produce information. Harvest shares average 10 - 12 pounds/week over the season, which will run from late May – early August. We will aim for 11 weeks of delivery. As is the nature of farming, there are variables more... |

CSA Summer Harvest Shares: 11 weeks |
|
A single delivery fall harvest of storage items is an additional option: potatoes, winter squash, pumpkin, onions, sweet potatoes, garlic, leeks & a few other items are what we plant annually. This is separate from the 11 week season; you can do one or both! Harvest is available for on-farm pick-up only the first week of October 2009. Final date TBA closer to the time. Final cost is being determined. (In 2008 the cost was $140 for 70 pounds of produce; we will decide soon about weight & price). A $50 deposit reserves your fall box. It’s a little different than the regular season CSA in that we will reduce the pledge price if total poundage is less than the pre-determined amount of pounds, but we aren’t guaranteeing specific quantities of any particular item. Additional quantities will be available for purchase if yields allow! Sign up with a deposit & completed pledge form! 2009 Pledge Form |

Our fabulous brown eggs are from chickens pastured on our certified Biodynamic pastures. We grind our own organic custom mix of chicken ration to supplement their diet of bugs & grass & scraps from our own vegetable production. We sell our eggs direct to you on-farm year-round, as well as through Open Harvest in Lincoln and during May & June at Old Cheney Farmer’s Market in Lincoln. |
