Petersen Family Farm is offering a limited amount of CSA shares during the coming crop year. CSA is an opportunity to help support local farming by pre-paying for the upcoming seasons produce. You share in some of the production risk we take on as farmers and also help us out by providing us with some of the capital we need to prepare and plant our fields with the produce you love. In return, we provide you with to quality, fresh produce at a very competitive price.
This years CSA will only be available for pick up at the farm. We are working our program slightly different this year in response to our last years customers feedback and our own past experience. In addition to the produce we grow on our farm, this year we will be including some fruit as it is available from other local growers. Also, this year we will be offering pick up only at the farm. This will allow us to give you some more choice in the items you purchase.
Here are the details:
PICK UP DATES AND TIMES
