What is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is sometimes known as "subscription farming”. A CSA is a group of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the food produced is ‘shared’ among the community, with the grower and consumers sharing the risks and benefits of food production.
Your subscription helps support local small farmers and keeps food dollars in local communities. And, when members obtain food from local farmers, environmental costs associated with the transport, processing and distribution of food, and the consumption of fossil fuels, are significantly reduced. Community Supported Agriculture – good for farmers, good for consumers, and good for the environment.
Our CSA members’ support helps cover the start up costs of our farm operation. In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty throughout the growing season, as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production. When you order from us, you are eating the same food we do.
The price for a Dobbs Family Farm full basket of farm-fresh produce suitable for a family of 4 is $400 for the season, (20-23 weeks from June to October depending on weather).
