Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has been around for many years. CSA programs are a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. With the CSA consumers are learning how to change their diets to eat what is in season and preserve for the winter months. By eating the bounty of the season we are eating the most nourishing, locally sourced food and reconnecting with the environment.
Farmer offers a certain number of “shares” to the public. Typically, the share consists of a box of meat or vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Participants purchase a share and in return receive a quantity of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. If you are looking to enhance your Lobster Hill Farm Meat CSA please check out our Farm-to-Fork add on option for the season!
This arrangement creates several rewards for both the farmer and the consumer.
Advantages for the farmer
-Allows time to spend marketing the food earlier in the year, before the long days in the field begin.
-Receive payment early in the season, which helps with the farm’s cash flow.
-Have an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow
Advantages for consumer
Provides local and ultra-fresh food with all the flavor and nutritional benefits.
-Try new products and new ways of cooking.
-Visit and familiarize themselves with the farm on monthly pick-ups.
-Find that kids typically favor food from “their” farm even products they’ve never been known to eat.
-Develop a relationship with the farmers who grow the food and learn more about how food is grown
