CSA

MorningSide Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) creates a healthy relationship between you and your food.

Convenience:  You automatically receive the best, freshest produce Ohio can offer at the same time, and pick up location, each week throughout the growing season.

Nutrition:  Your produce is safely grown following biologically based practices that adhere to all organic regulations resulting in nutrient dense food with complete mineral and enzyme content.

Adventure:  You are introduced to new vegetables and unique varieties of your favorites.  Experience new flavors and become amazed at how incredible common foods taste when grown locally and properly.

Connection:  You are directly connected with your food and the systems that produced it.  You know where your food is grown, how it is grown and who grows it.  You also get the opportunity to work at the farm to experience first hand the reality of growing the food that sustains us.

Conscience:  Your participation helps not only you and your family but the community by adding local jobs and keeping your food dollars circulating in the local economy.  You also share in our satisfaction as we work with the earth rather than against it.

What – Where – When – How Much

Each Week for 20 weeks, June 11 through October 22, you will receive your share.  Your box will reflect what you eat and what we grow.  Something from each vegetable type; leaves, fruits and roots, will be a part of your weekly share.  Amounts, variety and selection will vary with the season, the weather, and the pace of our crop's development.  Please keep in mind that we grow over 200 different varieties of vegetables and small fruits. So the possible combinations of produce from each week's harvest is almost limitless.

Pick ups are offered at the farm on Friday from 5pm till 7PM, Tremont Farmers’ Market on Tuesday from 5PM to 7PM and Countryside Farmers’ Market on Saturday from 10AM till Noon.

The fee for the Summer CSA is $500.00.  Half of your payment, by check or cash, is due when you sign up.  The second half is due 30 day’s before your first pickup.

You will be asked to read, sign and return our CSA agreement to hold your share.

We will offering 20 shares in 2012.

Spring and Fall Shares

You can extend your CSA season with our Spring and Fall Shares.  Season extension techniques allow us to offer additional shares for 4 weeks in the Spring and Fall.  Spring runs from May 14 to June 4.  Fall runs from October 29 through November 19.  Pick up places and times are the same until the markets assume their winter schedules in which case pick ups will be at the farm when no market is scheduled for a week.  The fee for each is $125.00, check or cash, is to be paid one month in advance of your first pickup.

We will be offering 10 of each Spring and Fall share in 2012.

Farm Hands

Each CSA member agrees to work at the farm.  A strong back is a terrible thing to waste! What could be a better way to enjoy your environment and truly appreciate where your next meal is coming from.  We ask for your efforts for 16 hours each Summer and 4 hours each Spring and/or Fall.  You will need to schedule with us at least a week in advance so that we can plan appropriately for your participation.  We also ask that you consider spend an entire day with us or at least 4 hour increments so that we can make best use of your efforts.
