A MULTI-FARM COMMUNITY SUSTAINING AGRICULTURE

Sign up now for Plateful's ❉ Spring ~ ✵ Summer 2014 CSA Season!

The Spring/Summer CSA is a 17 week program.  
Now offering more options and pick-up flexibility!
When you subscribe to our CSA program, you become a member/shareholder of Plateful CSA. Memberships require a commitment from both farmers and members. In this way, members share in both the risks and the benefits with the farmers. This may mean that some weeks there is an abundance of produce and others there may be less due to fluctuations in nature. But rest assured the Plateful farmers go above and beyond the call of duty to provide.

(This discount applies to produce shares only.)


Over the course of the CSA, you can expect:  Peas, Carrots, Beets, Radishes, Herbs, Collards, Kale, Heirloom Tomatoes, Broccoli, Turnips, Strawberries, ,Squash, Shiitake, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Melons Zucchini, Peppers, Potatoes, Beans, Eggs, Beef, Chicken, Pork, Honey & Recipes

Our food is grown without the use of chemicals, we use biodiversity, cover crops, organic soil amendments and rotational grazing. The chicken and pork are pasture raised. The beef is completely grass fed without any antibiotics or hormones! The vegetables are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides. 

 In everything we grow, we are passionate about doing our best, 
being our best, and giving our best tod your family
When you become a Member of Plateful CSA, we hope you will gain a better understanding of where your food comes from, how it is produced, why it is healthier for you and the environment 
and the role that small farms can play in our lives.
Small scale farms face many challenges in today's industrialized, agricultural food system. 
However, we believe with community support, small farms can survive and succeed, ensuring a better quality of life and a healthier plateful of food for all.
