You are invited to join our
2010 Mitchell Family Farm CSA. We offer a limited number of regular and
working shares. CSA is geared toward individuals who want to support and
enjoy the benefits of healthy, locally-grown fresh fruits and
vegetables.

What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA farms are
springing up all across the country. Each one is unique to the the local
community and the farmer they are supporting. The things all CSAs have
in common are a farmer and a group of individuals who support that
farmer as a way of supporting local agriculture. The farmer raises a
crop and shares the produce with the community members who have
supported him or her. |

Farming Naturally
Mitchell Family Farm is not certified organic, but we do strive to raise
our produce and animals in a way that is environmentally responsible. We
want to be good stewards of the land and animals God has put in our
care. Along those lines we choose to not harm the soil with chemical
pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Instead we choose to use crop
rotation, companion planting, cover cropping, and composting along with
other natural means to promote healthy plant growth.

Trade Basket
You will receive a variety of produce. We anticipate
that you will
enjoy most, if not all of it but if there is something in your share
that you won't use, we will have a trade box available.
Members may exchange items in their share for items in the trade box.

Community Delivery Groups
If you would like to be on the community group pick-up and delivery
list we will attempt to put you in contact with a group of individuals
in your area who are willing to share the responsibilities of picking up
shares at the farm and delivering them to your community. If
enough people are interested in cooperating this way, you won't have to
make as many trips to the farm, you'll save fuel, and still receive
great produce! |
Farm-Fresh Brown Eggs
Eggs are available on a first-come, first-served basis from our flock
of pastured hens. Request eggs when you pick up your share.
