F.A. Farm

5890 Barr Road

Our CSA program is designed for flexibility. We solved the vacation problem for our customers by extending our season for however many weeks you have on vacation. We also offer Farm Bucks, where you prepay in amounts of $200 or more and receive a 10% bonus. With Farm Bucks you choose what you want and we will harvest it while you wait. In our CSA boxes we usually provide 9-12 items, such as snap peas, snow peas, shelling peas, green beans, purple beans, wax beans, sweet corn, tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, salad mix, spinach, arugula, basil, beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, chard, cucumbers, kale, onions, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, summer squash, winter squash, apples, prunes and raspberries.

We are a small farm emphasizing sustainable and ethical practices. We focus on direct marketing through on-farm sales and a CSA share program. We have fresh produce for sale year-round but our main season is June through October. Our CSA share program provides you with 18 weekly boxes of fresh, tasty, local produce for $500 (2011 price). Vacations are not a problem with our CSA program, as we just extend your season. You may also prepay for vegetables with our Farm Bucks program and receive a 10% bonus. We welcome visitors during the season but it is necessary to call first. Currently we are experimenting with low-impact efficiencies such as sheet mulching and hay bale culture, but we also depend on labor-intensive strategies. Our desire is to utilize the calorie-efficient human brain and hand, rather than the petrol-intensive tractor.
