We all have hometown appetites. Every person is a bundle of longing for the simplicities of good taste once enjoyed on the farm.
~ Clementine Paddleford
Love and eggs are best when they are fresh.
~ Russian Proverb

Community Supported Agriculture
CSA is a partnership between a farm and a community of supporters which provides a relationship between the production and consumption of food. Supporters cover a farm's yearly operating budget by purchasing a share of the season's harvest. CSA members make a commitment to support the farm throughout the season, and assume the costs, risks and bounty of growing food along with the farmer or grower. Members help pay for seeds, tools, labor, etc. In return, the farm provides, to the best of its ability, a healthy supply of seasonal fresh produce throughout the growing season. Becoming a member creates a responsible relationship between people and the food they eat, the land on which it is grown and those who grow it.
