What is community supported agriculture?

Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a socio-economic model of agriculture and food distribution. A CSA consists of a community of members, who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes the community's farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production. As a member, you will receive fresh local fruit and vegetables grown for the season, and be able to come and see where your food is coming from!


A $20 Membership includes:
· Annual newsletter
· Tour of orchard
· Access to CSA fruit program
· Option to purchase other fruit and food packages, such as orchard honey, canned fruit, etc.
· Great deals on bulk fruit (over 100 lbs)
· Recognition on our website
· Pancake breakfast

As memberships grow in numbers, we will be asking other local producers to join our CSA project, giving members more local food choices.

You can pay by paypal (see sidebar), or email me at fruition@sasktel.net and I can send you an application form and the membership packages available for 2009...
