Durham Farmers Market Collaborative CSA
Harland's Creek Farm is joining with Pine Knot Farm, Fickle Creek Farm and Chapel Hill Creamery to offer a CSA. CSA is short for Community Supported Agriculture. In 2008 we are offering subscriptions to:
- Produce and Herbs (Harland's Creek Farm with Pine Knot Farm)
- Meat (Fickle Creek Farm)
- Eggs and Cheese (Fickle Creek Farm and Chapel Hill Creamery)
Subscribers support sustainable, local food production and get first choice of our offerings.
Produce and Herbs. Each week subscribers receive a box which contains from 5 to 10 vegetables and herbs. In addition, you will receive:
- A recipe booklet with recipes and preparation and storage instructions. The booklet includes recipes that feature meat, eggs, and cheese as well as vegetables and fruits.
- Weekly meal plans, suggested recipes and shopping lists for non-share ingredients
- Visits to participating farms by prearrangement to help, learn, or enjoy
Our recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists simplify your efforts to provide healthy food for yourself and your family. CSA customers are first in line for products from the farms. If you use the meal plans, the shopping list provides you with an easy way to determine what other items you might like to purchase at the market or on your trip home. Note that growing conditions may prohibit provision of planned products or planned volume. (There are no refunds due to unavoidable weather, pests, or disease problems. Such a risk is slight. In six years of CSA operation, HCF has never failed to provide full value.)
Meat. Each week subscribers will receive one of several kinds of meet including whole chicken, chicken breasts, and various cuts of grass fed beef, lamb, or pork.
Eggs and Cheese. Eggs and cheese will be provided weekly on a rotating basis.
Weeks of Operation. We will provide 30 weeks of products beginning on April 26, 2008 and ending on November 22, 2008. There is a break on August 9, 2008.
Enrollment. Payment is due at enrollment. You can pay with a single check or with two checks with one of them post-dated a month later than the first.
