SO WHAT'S A CSA ANYHOW? We operate a little differently than other CSAs. What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)? Historically, CSA’s charged you money in the winter and gave you whatever they had (their choice) every week throughout the growing season. In addition, members had to work a certain number of hours on the farm to share in the experience. This helped to educate the members about what it takes to produce their vegetables and why some crops failed and others didn’t. It also helped the farmer to get some work done too! Some people even like that kind of thing! Nowadays we do not expect our members to toil, however you can help with our crop mobs in the spring should you want to get your hands dirty! We do not grow everything organically. We do grow a lot of things without man-made chemicals. We are very careful about what we do use to control problems that arise from time to time. Some crops are more susceptible to insects and diseases, and we recognize that and treat accordingly IF we think the economic threshold has been passed. This is called Integrated Pest Management or IPM and we have been practicing it for more than three decades (the beginning of SIW time). It requires a lot more management and a lot fewer chemicals (organic or synthetic). If you agree to become a member you pay me in the winter and I give you fruits and vegetables that I grow once a week throughout the growing season, (Every other week, for a Half Share). Typically, we start to get a few things in mid-June, most things in July through early October and decrease in October as the month wears on. Except for pumpkins and all the fall decorating stuff, of course. The idea is that you help us when we don’t have any money coming in and eat healthy all summer! Our canned goods are not included although you do get a discount on them. You also share in the ups and downs of the growing season. If we have a crop failure you are out of luck. But conversely, if we have a bumper crop you get extra. We are at Mother Nature’s mercy. We keep an updated board with what you are entitled to each week. If you are confused by something or notice an omitted product on display, PLEASE ASK FOR HELP. This works much like the honor system. You can come ANY DAY OF THE WEEK (though we encourage you to come on weekdays to beat the weekend rush). You select your veggies from this list. There are no substitutions, and we ask that you please honor this. If you take extra someone else may get short-changed. We are picking and selling fresh things constantly so if something's not there that's on the board just let us know and we'll offer you a substitute. The majority of the items are sold the day they are picked. Betcha' didn’t know that! If you have any questions at all please reach out. Your satisfaction is truly important to me! Thank you, HG Haskell III

Need yard work done, a honey-do list handled, or outdoor project taken care of? We have someone for you!
Need a helping hand around the house for small projects or for yard work or any outdoor projects? We have someone for you!
Please note this is not for electrical or
construction projects. These are folks that work in

the lines of a "honey do" list: hanging pictures, outdoor
landscaping and yard work, cleanup/cleanout projects,
etc. Thank you!
