Good Fortune Farm

eing a CSA member you need to be flexible and open minded.  As a small one man farm I work very hard at providing a great variety of crops to keep the shares interesting.  There is a tricky balance between growing interesting things and productive thing.  Most members who participate in my CSA comment on the nice variety of crops included in the share.  A lot of CSA's get good at growing a few major crops and hammer their customers with chard or beets or what ever they grow well.  I try to grow some reliably crops, some new crops and some more difficult to grow ones.  So each week there are some staples, something interesting or new to you and some odd ball once in a while.  I try to keep it interesting and sometimes at a compromise to volume.

 Those productive weeks I add more to hopefully make up for any shortages in the future.  Last year there were not too many short weeks most weeks were fairly generous.
