What is a CSA?
CSA means Community Supported Agriculture and it is very popular in the US. The idea started in Japan over 30 years ago. The concept is that the citizens who want fresh food will pay in block amounts in order to support the local farm or farms. By ensuring you are going to purchase each week with a twenty week minimum, the farms can plan ahead by planning plantings, crops, etc...
When do I get the Bag?
The bags can be picked up on Tuesdays at Lynchburg Grows office between 2:30 and 6pm. Bags can be picked-up during our office hours 9-5 until Friday unless other arrangements are made.
Where is the food coming from?
Ideally, all of the food would come from Lynchburg Grows, but in our early years, we must supplement our bags with organic produce from a distributor and from locally grown organic/low spray produce. Our goal is to be the sole provider of the vegetables in the near future.
What's in the bag?
It is hard to say since each week is different. One example might be Pears, Heirloom Green Tomatoes, Yellow Squash, Cucumbers, Lettuce Mix, Beets and Red Carmen Peppers. The flyer you will receive in the bag with a list of the produce will have a recipe on the back of it.
