 FAQs

  • Community Shared Agriculture (or CSA) is a model that connects people directly with farmers. CSA was created in response to a globalized food economy to provide consumers with the ability to secure local food and develop relationships with the people and places that produce that food. This also helps finance the farm for the season

  • Organic:  foods grown without artificial pesticides or fertilizers. In other uses, organic refers to living things or material that comes from living things. Things that are naturally grown and preserved by nature​

    ​IPM (integrated Pest Management):  broad-based approach that integrates both chemical and non-chemical practices for economic control of pests. IPM Selects pesticides that are effective, economical and least disruptive to the production system.
