Nettles (preserved, frozen or dried) and medicinal and culinary herbs are part of the package. Cooperatives are offered for CSA members to grow additional crops in the dedicated 1 1/2 acre south-facing field, as a collaborative: Each person grows one or two companion crops. Surplus produce may be sold to other CSA members. Cooperatives for pastured hens (with organic feed), for eggs. Goat's dairy is in preparation as a herd-share to coincide with legalization in New Jersey; members will hand-milk the goats, once a week.
