North Star Orchard CSA Options

'CSA' stands for 'Community Supported Agriculture'. CSA models differ somewhat from farm to farm, but in general terms members sign-up and pay in advance for a share of produce during the growing season. The up-front commitment from members allows the farmer to more efficiently and effectively grow his/her crops. Meanwhile, the members learn a bit more about local food systems and receive the best fresh food in season.

EXCITING NEWS FOR 2008:

We now offer both a Fruit Share and a Veggie Share.

Please note that the Veggie Share for 2008 is now full.

However, please feel free to learn more about it on the following pages.

made me much less likely to search for cookies, cake or ice cream in the evening."
