What does the CSA distribution look like?

We are in the home stretch of our 2016 regular season CSA Farm Share program at the Genuine Faux Farm.  And, really, that just seems a bit wrong to us.  Didn't the season just start?  But, seasons are cyclic and we are entering the part of the cycle where growing things are slowing down.

So, we are beginning to get serious about having people sign up for our Fall Extended Season shares that start at the end of October and go into December.  You want some fresh produce for Thanksgiving?  Well, this is a good opportunity for you.


We are also beginning to take reservations for 2017 shares.  We start this process in September of the prior year in hopes that we can get the lion's share of our customers lined up.  The better our recruiting goes, the more successful the following growing season is.  

Why is that?  Simply put, we can plan and we can spend our energy in the Spring on getting it all to grow for you.

Here is what a farm share CSA distribution looks like outside Hansen's Outlet. Each tray or station has a sign telling you what you're getting. If you get five tomatoes, you pick your tomatoes... Come join us this Fall and next season!  We would love to be your personal farmers.



The farmers' job (at left)? Keep those trays filled and answer questions. Red hat, mandatory. Bag hanging out of the back pocket, frequent. Tell him to get a haircut, not likely.
