Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way for the public to buy locally grown food, create a relationship with a farm, and help to keep small farms in their community. Members make a financial commitment to the farm by buying shares, which provide the farm with the funds needed to grow and harvest the crops. The shareholders share the bounty with the Farmer  when the

the harvest is plentiful the shares are large. However, just as when you buy stock in any company, CSA shareholders also take risks. If a natural disaster (such as hurricane or other weather-related condition or a major pest problem) destroys a crop, the shareholders bear the burden along with the farmer

The vegetables you receive from our farm will vary in size and appearance during the season, looking and tasting similar to those you would grow in your own home garden. The vegetables in the grocery store tend to be more uniform and perfect, because those varieties were chosen mainly to keep their appearance through shipping and storage, and then graded to remove those that were misshapen or had blemishes. The varieties we grow were chosen for their flavor and their ability to produce well in our climate, and are not expected to look perfect. (You might receive a double squash or pepper, an eggplant with a "nose", or an ear of corn with baby ears attached-these are all vegetables that would have been sent for processing or thrown away in a normal commercial grading operation!) One thing Aaldmon Farm can promise is unprecedented service and superior produce!
