CSA Options
Purchasing a csa share brings a
weekly delivery for you to our Ames distribution site. The share
consists of predetermined amounts and types of produce. When you
select this option, you are also sharing in the risks and rewards of
farming, by supporting the producer with money up front. This
support is very important to the small scale farmers that are a part of
Farm to Folk. For more information about CSA, click here. Go to Our Producers for more information about the individual producers.
This page contains a listing of all the csa shares offered for 2008. After you decide what you'd like to order, go to Join Farm to Folk to fill out an order form. If you are looking for someone to split a share with you check our message board.
Under the csa veggie share options we are listing the varieties
of vegetables each producer is growing. It also gives
an approximate size of the share, i.e. the number of people it is
designed to feed and/or the number of weekly deliveries. Fruit and dairy shares give target
amounts.
