Community Supported Agriculture

A CSA—Community Supported Agriculture—program connects you with your food. By buying a share in the winter or early spring, you're reserving weekly pick-ups of sustainably-grown produce right here on our farm, straight from our farmers.

We plant, grow, and harvest vegetables knowing the faces of the shareholders who will take them home. It's like a weekly vegetable date: from June through October, we get to see you at the same time each week, and you get to watch the farm change through the seasons. This ritual becomes a small, back-to-basics escape that also creates fewer food miles, less waste, and more transparency between you and your food. It represents a commitment to growing and consuming food grown close to home without the use of synthetic chemicals that pollute our soils and waterways. Being a Land's Sake CSA Shareholder feels—and tastes—great!

Benefits to the environment: 

• Lower food miles: pickups on the same land that the food was grown on mean less CO2 emissions from the energy required to transport and refrigerate produce across long distances.
• The sustainable farming methods we use help the soil remain productive for this generation and those to follow. We manage healthy nutrient cycling and balance in the soil without using harmful chemicals. We use crop rotation  and cover crops for soil health; we maintain habitat for beneficial insects; we use disease-resistant crop varieties when available, and, when needed, we use organic fertilizers and OMRI-certified pesticides.
