More Than Just Vegetables
Appleton Farms CSA offers fresh, local produce at a price comparable to supermarket costs. Yet, CSA is about more than just vegetables. CSA is based on trust between shareholders, farmers they come to know, and the land from which we all eat. CSA encourages us to eat "in season" and to cook from what is available. CSA connects children to agricultural cycles and gives an invaluable opportunity for the hands-in-the-dirt experience that kids crave. Finally, in sharing the risk of each growing season with the farmers, shareholders can intimately appreciate the rewards of the harvest, season after season. In short, CSA promotes and supports environmental stewardship and responsibility, a local farming economy, and individual health.
What crops are grown?
In all, Appleton Farms grows close to 200 varieties of vegetables, herbs and flowers, and a few fruits (strawberries, watermelon, and cantaloupes). Since each crop has its prime season, we won't always have everything, but we will have a wide variety of choices every week. Shareholders can expect to find 15-30 crops to choose from each week.
Available to a current Brookwood family only.
