What is CSA? 
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a weekly subscription program where subscribers purchase a share of the produce grown on a local farm.  

You purchase a share at the beginning of the growing season and receive your choice of fresh seasonal produce from June to November.  At Red Earth Farm, we pack your weekly order and deliver it to a pick-up site convenient to your home or work.  You will also have the opportunity to purchase other fresh farm products such as eggs, cheese, yogurt, honey and grass-fed meats that we bring to you from neighboring farms.

Why CSA? 

	CSA provides the opportunity to experience local foods as they come into season.  Each vegetable, fruit and herb that comes to your table is at its peak of flavor and nutritional value. Seasonal foods bring a natural variation to the diet and establishes a rhythm in our eating habits.
	Supporting a local farm makes a contribution to keeping our environment greener by reducing transportation of foods by as much as 1000 miles.
	Potluck suppers, including the Harvest Barn Dance, at the farm allow families to visit and experience how their food is raised.  Children and adults can participate in the annual garlic planting or early summer weeding fest and so broaden their understanding in how food is produced.
	Newsletters from the farm include information about nutrition, our growing practices (no synthetic chemicals or fertilizers!) recipes and updates on upcoming events

“We are so grateful for the amazingly beautiful produce you have diligently delivered to us for so many weeks.  Our kids have never eaten so much of their vegetables or fruit.  Our life has felt plentiful thanks to you.”  D.D., Philadelphia
