"Growing food and people, building community..."
Community Supported Agriculture
at Left Foot Organics
Our 2008 CSA season begins the first week of June! Click here to sign up. Thanks much for your support!
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is about sharing—sharing the food we produce, sharing the abundance and the risks inherent in our relationship with the earth, and sharing the community we all create by working together. CSA is a unique option for people seeking fresh, local and seasonal produce for their table. It works like this: you buy a share of the farm’s produce, a subscription, for the season. In return, each week you receive a box of freshly harvested produce all grown on our farm. The contents of the box each week are a selection of the crops ready for harvest that week. You also receive a weekly newsletter including notes on farm activities, volunteer opportunities, Left Foot events, and recipes. Food for the soul is important too, so we offer flower shares for those who prefer a feast for the eyes and nose each week. 
By investing in a CSA you are not only investing in local farms and local food security. You are also investing in the people and program here at Left Foot. Our CSA program is essential to the financial sustainability of Left Foot, and to the fulfillment of our mission. We promote self-sufficiency, inclusion and independence for people with developmental disabilities through meaningful, paid employment and training in the business of growing and selling high quality organic produce. Our relationships with our customers, you, are at the core of our mission. Your participation as a customer helps us to create the supportive, integrated environment at Left Foot that challenges people to do their best, values their contributions and celebrates their accomplishments.
If you enjoy surprises and being creative in the kitchen a CSA share is for you. We encourage members to view their CSA as a continuing education experience. You will encounter vegetables you haven’t eaten and learn how to prepare them. You’ll also have many opportunities to get up close and personal with your vegetables. Come out to farm, see how the foods in your share box are grown, select your own herbs from our perennial garden, and get to know the people who are growing your food.
Our 2008 summer CSA season will begin the first week of June, 2008 and run through October. Winter shares begin November 6, 2008 and run through January 2009. Check out past issues of the CSA News here. For details on pick up and prices, see the 2008 CSA Application Form To sign up for a share, print out the form and send it in with your first payment. You can also use PayPal.
Thanks for your support!
