Some of you may be aware that along with livestock, we grow and market vegetables and fruits through a concept called Community Supported Agriculture or CSA.
This simply means that customers who are interested in fresh, local foods direct from farms, purchase a share (either full or half) in our farm (or others that offer a CSA) and then enjoy the bounty of our labour for 12 weeks.
Each customer gets a box of whatever is growing on the farm each week. We meet our customers in one of a couple of drop off points in the city or at the farm to exchange an empty box for a full one.
We like sharing our produce in this way as we gain an ongoing relationship with our customer, they get to know how their food is grown and there is little wastage as we know how many families we are feeding before we seed. The customers get fresh, no spray produce that in most cases was picked a few hours before.
