Community Supported Agriculture



Our farm is starting a CSA this year. This is called Community Supported Agriculture because it wouldn't exist without you! It takes someone to develop an entrusting relationship with a farmer by paying upfront for a season's worth of produce. The money upfront gives the farmer the resources to buy seeds and other things to start up the season and ensures that you get a weekly share of the harvest for the season.

This year we are doing a 16 week program starting June 19th and going through the first week in October. You would get enough to feed a family of four, with 5-9 different things per week. Now remember, everything is based upon seasonality so you will not be getting the same thing all season, and what is available is up to Mother Nature!

If you would be interested in something like this contact us at sunnymeadowsflowerfarm@gmail.com. Our farm is southeast Columbus, but we do a market in Granville where it can be picked up also. We invite you out to the farm to check out how we do things and so that you can be an interactive part of the food you put on your family's table. And remember, we do everything organically so you can feel good about making your kids eat your vegetables too!
