Fertile Ground Farm
Community Shared Agriculture
What is CSA?
We sell our vegetables direct to households through our CSA: Community Shared Agriculture connects farmers directly with eaters. Members pre-purchase a share in the harvest & are treated to an assortment of the fresh, locally-grown vegetables in season each week. We grow most of our vegetables and eggs here at our farm, and source the rest from local farm partners.
