COMMUNITY-MINDED Each Thursday when you walk through the garden gate you can meet fellow members from all walks of life who share your commitment to family health, a cleaner environment, and a brighter future for family farmers. Working with other members on distribution day is a great way to meet and get to know your neighbors. We collaborate with City Harvest to pick up our leftover produce.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY Members and their children are welcome to visit Windflower Farm. Our distribution site, the Garden of Union, is an urban oasis where children can enjoy a community garden developing over summer and fall, and where they can learn about and contribute to an exemplary urban composting project.

INFORMATIVE Learn about veggies you've never heard of or tasted--and how to store and prepare them. Weekly recipe handouts focus on the seasonal harvest. The CSA's weekly newsletter, The Garlic Press, offers new insights into family farming and will keep you informed about local CSA events and agricultural issues at state, national and international levels.
