As a direct market farm, I strive to serve two main markets: CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and farmer's market. While I also grow for restaurants and markets, CSA is my main thrust. I believe in the tenets of CSA and like knowing the people for whom I grow vegetables and fruits. It is also very beneficial for the people I serve to know where their food is grown - bringing back a connection between the farm and the consumer. In this vein, my CSA program is old fashioned in the concepts that drive it. First, I grow many heritage or heirloom varieties, with an emphasis on flavor. Second, I pick my crops at the peak of ripeness so they not only taste good, but also contain the high nutritive values that develop within the last few days on the vine.
