Salamander Springs Farm/Permaculture Organics

Salamander Springs Farm offers a unique “Shopper’s Basket” CSA.  Shareholders support the farm with their membership investment at the beginning of the season and decide how they want use their share during the season, filling their basket each week with the bounty of fresh produce & products. They enjoy a wide range fruits, vegetables, herbs, grains & more from our diverse permaculture farm. We reserve limited items or quantities of produce for freezing or canning and fill special requests for our CSA members.

During the season we invite our CSA members to come to the farm to see how healthy, living soil produces nutrient rich food! for special events such as our monthly farm tours, workshops and gatherings.

2015 CSA SHARES are $650 for 6 months of harvests from May 16 to October 17.  Pick up at the Berea Farmers Market.  To reserve a share, call Susana at 859-893-3360 or press "EMAIL US" on the Salamander Springs Farm website (www.localharvest.org/farms/M5606)

ABOUT COMMUNITY SHARED AGRICULTURE: Recognizing the significant odds against small farmers in an industrial food economy, CSA programs were developed to help communities directly support local farms, sharing in both their risks & benefits. CSA shares are an investment in a stronger and more stable local food economy; they help alleviate the risks and cover the up-front production costs at the most difficult time in the season for small independent farmers. In turn CSA members are provided a direct, transparent relationship to truly healthy food. Shareholders also experience the joys and health benefits of learning new ways of eating locally and seasonally, such as freezing, canning or drying local food for the winter.
