WHAT IS COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE? (CSA)
CSA is an agreement between the farmer and the members of the CSA to maintain a relationship for mutual benefit and support. The members agree to provide direct, up front support for the local growers who will produce their food. The growers agree to do their best to provide a sufficient quantity and quality of food to meet the needs and expectations of the members. CSA’s help keep small farms thriving and the up front cash flow provides the working capital that the farmer needs.
WHAT IS COMMUNITY FARM?
Each shareholder, as a member of the community farm, buys a share of the harvest. In return, the farm supplies a weekly share of organic produce. By participating you are able to connect with your local food source at a community level. Members are encouraged to help in the vision and maintenance of the farm during the community workdays.
HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER?
The Garberville Community Farm CSA produce share runs for 20 weeks starting in late May or early June and running into October. Shares come in whole and half sizes for single member households. We also offer a limited number of Work Exchange shares and Gift Share memberships.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Whole shares cost $420 and half shares $225. Our Gift Share program enables you to purchase a share for a friend or family member or to help a community member in need. Payment plans available so please call.
HOW DO I GET MY SHARE?
Members can pick up their produce at the farm on Thursday afternoon or at the Garberville Farmers Market on Friday
