We are planning another CSA Veggie Venture this summer and youre invited to participate! We are a 5th generation family farm, located one mile east of Donnellson, that strives to be an ecologically friendly farm and that firmly believes in being good stewards of the land. We pride ourselves in choosing our vegetable varieties only according to their superb flavor, not length of shelf life.
Each week, your bag will include several varieties of in-season freshly picked vegetables from our farm. One bag will provide enough fresh veggies for several meals each week. In addition, each customer will receive a weekly newsletter that will talk about the happenings on our farm, pictures from our garden, and share helpful cleaning/storing tips and health benefits of the veggies you will be receiving, as well as mention what veggies you should expect to see in your bag the following week.
We are not organically certified, but grow our veggies in a very environmentally friendly way. We use natural methods whenever possible to control insect pests. We never apply green manure to our veggie beds. With the exception of our herbs (washing rapidly deteriorates their shelf life), all produce is hand washed using the Rathbun Rural Water system. All produce is then rinsed with Tsunami® 100, and then immediately cooled in our Veggie Barn coolers, and delivered to you the next morning.
