Bracco Farms

2012 Season CSA*

and Market Bag

The basic idea of Community Supported Agriculture* is that a farmer grows for a group of members who have purchased “shares” in the harvest. Members pay at the beginning of the season in March, when the farmer most needs the money. When the crops start coming in June, the farmer delivers a weekly assortment of vegetables, herbs and some fruit. This is not a co-op, there are no wholesalers or distributors. 100% of your food dollars go to the person who is growing it. You support sustainable local agriculture and get freshly picked organic produce at reasonable prices. In addition, you know the farmer growing your vegetables and can visit the farm—establishing a personal connection with your food supply.

The CSA is now running from June 5, 2012 until October 30, 2012

the high standards that you expect. That is our promise to you.
