Throughout the course
of human history, people have had a strong connection to the land.
It has only been recently that our families and towns have struggled
to keep that connection intact. Today, more and more people are
joining together to illustrate that a food system can be environmentally
friendly, financially sustainable, and ethically just for everyone
involved.
Community
Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a special relationship that a
farmer, or a group of farmers, engages in with his or her local
consumers. Members of the community sign up in advance for a “share”
of all the fruits, vegetables, and flowers that a farmer will produce
in a given season. Members of the CSA then either come to the farm
once a week to pick up their “share” of the bounty,
select to pick the box up at a location close to the member’s
home, or can now select to have the produce delivered to their home
or office.
By
working within a network of certified Organic regional growers,
we are able to opperate our CSA on a year round basis. So you will
always have access to the freshest fruits and vegetables available.
Each member also has the flexibility to select
how many weeks he/she would like to participate.Furthermore, if
a full Harvest Box is too much food each week, a member can opt
to have a box prepared every other week for them. We are trying
to make our CSA an educational, fun, and convenient way for you
to support a local farm and enjoy top-quality produce.
CSA programs also help the local economy by keeping
money in the community. More money in the community means more jobs
locally.
Please join us for a very exciting journey as
we change the face of agriculture in New Mexico.
