Title
Silver Wheel Farm Organic Produce
Description
Silver Wheel Farm operates under the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model. CSA is a social model that connects you to your food, the land, and with those that tend the soil. CSA is an economic model that allows you to place your food dollar directly in the hands of a family farm, a farm you know, a farm that adopts organic practices to respect the health and nutritional value of your food, a farm that reduces the impact of agriculture on the environment.
Today the food we eat travels an average of 1,300 miles to reach our tables, and along the way up to five or six businesses take a portion of the profits. Produce is grown, bred, treated and harvested based on its ability to ship, hold and mechanically harvest and handle. As a result of this food system, there is a growing concern over the safety of our food supply, the long-term impact on our land and water resources and the associated decline of family farms.
You share in the bounty (and risk) of the farmer during the growing season. You subscribe to a share just like you would a health insurance policy - paying up front for the product. Depending on your share size, you will get a certain amount of produce weekly. Subscribing also allows you access to Farm-sponsored events.
