What is a CSA?
The Hunter Park GardenHouse CSA (community supported agriculture) is a great way to meet other community members, talk about food, learn new recipes, eat healthy, and sharpen gardening skills in a receptive environment- and to receive a bag of fresh vegetables each week grown in your own neighborhood! Gardening and farming can be risky business. Part of the mystique associated with being involved in a CSA comes from the uncertainty surrounding the fact that, because of factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee what exactly will be in your share each week. We are happy to say we have seen four successful seasons so far, and hope to see fruitful harvests in our future!
The Winter CSA runs October-March and provides Eastside residents with a fresh, healthy, and local source of vegetables during the cold winter months. This fall we are pleased to announce that we are partnering with Urbandale Farm on Hayford Street to expand our offerings and increase the number of shares to 15. Members will have the option of paying for their full share ($60 per month), paying for half and working for half (8 hours and $30 per month), or working for their full share (16 hours per month). We also are accepting EBT as a weekly-based payment option.
The Winter CSA is now full. Please check back in spring for the Summer CSA!
