It is important to us to increase access to clean fresh local food. We do this by incorporating efficiency every where we can. This allows us to make good food affordable.
Last year a share worked out to be $12/wk for 20 weeks, which equaled $240. This year it is $15/wk. for 20 weeks
for a total of $300. $15/ wk. purchases an average of 10 -14 lbs. of produce a week over the course of the season. Like last June, this will begin with about 3-5 lbs. the first few weeks, increasing until about 20 - 24 lbs. by September and into October. This easily feeds a family of 4.
We attempt to meet the needs of our Members and the need for capital to grow your food by allowing for individual payment arrangements and setting a deadline.
We would like all Members to be Paid in Full by March 15th. Call to arrange a payment schedule. Considerations are made for circumstances that may call for a later Paid in Full date. Just shoot us an e-mail or give us a ring.
The CSA Pick ups will begin Sunday, June 7th and continue for 20 weeks.
On Sundays you will receive an e-mail listing that weeks harvest choices. You simply check off what you want. You know ahead of time what you'll receive and only receive what you want that week. This e-mail includes recipes, descriptions of farm foibles, storage hints and directions etc.
We stock our store with an assortment of fruits and vegetables, most grown on our farm and in our greenhouse; some from local area farmers. We price our fruits and veggies by calling and shopping around area grocery stores. Our aim is to make available clean, fresh fish and produce at affordable and competitive prices. Access to clean food has always been a value and motivator at Home Grown. As the economy continues to be more and more challenging, the importance of food security and access grows. We are committed to keeping our methods sustainable and our prices affordable. Some say that this may cheapen the 'idea' of value. We say,"People know what value is." We say ,"Clean food must be accessible to all." Now, THAT'S valuable.
