CSA: bam

BAM members enjoy the best Arkansas has to offerâ�?”fresh, nutritious, seasonal products, gathered from farmers and value-added producers around the state in one bountiful basket and delivered to convenient pickup locations in central Arkansas.

For farmers, BAM is a safe and reliable outlet for their products. The community supported agriculture model allows farmers and subscribers to share in the risks of farming. It makes it easier for farmers to plan crops and reduces the risk that the harvest will go unsold. Itâ�?™s a vital solution for producers who are unable to travel to a farmersâ�?™ market every few days. It also supports a wider variety of specialty and heirloom crops not carried by conventional grocery stores.

How BAM works You subscribe to three baskets at a time. When itâ�?™s time for a pickup, you will receive an e-mail notice. You choose the pickup location most convenient for you, respond by e-mail to reserve your basket, then pick it up and enjoy! Cost $240 for three baskets
