What is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farm land becomes the community’s farm with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risk and benefits of food production.
As a CSA member, you join for the whole season and pay the farmers directly for your produce, which provides a secure retail market for the farm’s crops. This gives financial stability to the farm, which in turn enables the farms to commit to high quality produce at fair prices for you.
Each week you will pick up $25+ worth of freshly picked vegetables and greens. The choice of produce will be made by what is currently being harvested. This CSA consists of three farms along the Rio Grande and Chama Rivers - Harmony Farm and Red Mountain Farm in Abiquiu and Tucker Farms in Embudo.
Pickups will be in the Bode's parking lot in Abiquiu beginning May 18th and running through October 12th – 22 weeks of fresh produce
