The Cost :
The share price for the season is $500 and members typically receive about 10% more in produce in regards to current farmer's market prices.
The Vibration :
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a direct link between a farmer, veggie eaters and a piece of land. The relationship is simple, straight forward, bountiful and beneficial for all involved.
Participants decide to become members of a farm and commit to supporting it by contributing up front for the produce that is yet to come. The farmer, in turn, provides a weekly reward of fresh vegetables for the entire growing season. The consumer eats exactly what is in season, therefore the most fresh and healthful food available. The farm has a guaranteed market for it's produce, as well as some cash flow in the slow winter months. Aside from these very fundamental gains of the CSA relationship, this collaborative model highlights the interconnected nature of agriculture, and humans sharing food and appreciating the abundance of the land.
Members come to realize that the flavor of tomato in the heart of the summer Maine is well worth the wait and know exactly who seeded, weeded, harvested, washed and packed every vegetable they ate for five months of the year. They support a local, independent business, they meet new, interesting people and they contribute to the super vibrant and nationally notable agricultural scene in Maine.
