Why Community Supported Agriculture?

Our farm has been certified organic for a long time (since 1988) and we’ve produced soybeans and spelt that have been shipped to other continents. While the extra money we’ve been paid for those organic crops has been good and has enabled us to continue farming in a political and social climate that does not value farmland, farming or farmers, it is not satisfying on a deep level nor is it sustainable to ship food crops great distances. We believe in local food: grow it here, eat it as near here as possible; sustain the farm and its family, nourish the families that eat from our bounty. This belief led us to Community Supported Agriculture.
