North Gate Organics CSA Program
|
CSA stands for Community Shared Agriculture. This food distribution model unites the farmer and the consumer for the growing season. The program provides the customer with a box of fresh, seasonal vegetables each week from mid-June until late October (approx. 20 weeks). In return, the farmer receives capital when it is most needed at the beginning of the season, and develops a direct relationship with the customer.
Examples of Vegetables in Season: June- lettuce mix, spring peas, radishes, green onions, arugula, spinach, white Japanese turnips, kale, broccoli, swiss chard, and beets July- broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers, beans, kale, lettuce mix, tomatoes, summer squash, beets, cabbage, kohlrabi, and swiss chard August- carrots, kale, tomatoes, peppers, beets, beans, eggplant, summer squash, lettuce mix, cucumbers, fennel, melons, onions, and potatoes September and October- broccoli, cauliflower, kale, peppers, potatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, melons, spinach, leeks, onions, tomatoes, carrots, beets, eggplant, brussel sprouts, and lettuce mix 2015 CSA Program
