CSA - Community Supported Agriculture
Small Potatoes Farm connects to families and individuals
through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
shares. If you are looking for the freshest organic produce
available in your community, grown by a farmer you know,
in a sustainable way, our CSA is just what you're looking
for.
Supporting members of our CSA buy a share of the farm's
weekly harvest during the regular growing season. By
supporting the farm through a CSA share, we can
concentrate on production and sustainability, rather than
marketing. This direct farmer-to-CSA member relationship
gives people the opportunity to know from seed to plate
who, where and how their food was grown. As farmers, we
think it is as equally important to know who, where and how
our food is eaten.

Our CSA season runs from about the first of June
through the first frost in November and as far into the
fall as we can deliver. For our regular share, we
deliver until the first delivery into October. We offer
half of our regular shareholders an extended share -
until we can no longer deliver, hopefully another 4 - 5
weeks. For the regular and extended share
combined, we plan for at least 22 consecutive weekly
deliveries of crops that are in season and at the peak
of ripeness.
We work hard to provide our members with the
highest-quality vegetables possible. From spring
salad lettuce, to summer's incredible tomatoes, to
fall's sweet carrots, you'll continually be impressed. A
share should provide generously for a household of
two adults and two children, although this varies with
family eating habits. Often, new CSA members find
themselves eating more vegetables, cook more often
and eat more meals with family members. We get very
frequent comments about children eating vegetables
they previously have shunned.
