The true expenses of any garden is up front, long before the farmer can sell the produce. "Our Farm" membership shares helps to more evenly spread the risks of frosts,droughts, critter invasion, labor and other farming risks between the farmer & consumers. The CSA paid membership ahead of production helps us not only know exactly how many "heads of lettuce" to plant that growing season, but also helps create a consistant cash flow and will enable us to cover the costs of seeds and labor that occur before the harvest. We can also plan for our market and ensure a more consistant supply of fresh naturally grown & chemical free produce,meats and eggs for all members throughout the entire year.
