Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

ECHO RIDGE FARM

You can enjoy the bounty of Echo Ridge’s produce by joining our CSA. CSA members receive a weekly share of seasonal vegetables and produce freshly harvested.

CSA is a partnership between a farm and the surrounding community –the community financially invests in the farm by purchasing “shares” prior to the beginning of the growing season and in return, the farm provides, to the best of its ability, a variety of fresh vegetables harvested at their peak weekly.

In farming, there are risks. These risks are shared by both the farmer and the subscriber. Each season, crop abundances and failures are part of the natural order – crops are subject to insects, plant diseases and inclement weather. We grow a large variety of vegetables to lesson these risks and assure our subscribers a bountiful harvest.

Becoming a member creates a bond between people and the food they eat, the land on which it is grown and those who grow it. It helps support small farms and responsible farming. CSA Middletown VA

The Benefits for Organic Farming

Protects future generations - Prevents soil erosion
Protects ground water quality

Saves energy - Modern conventional farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, consuming 12% of the country's total energy supply. Organic farming is more labor intensive.

Keeps chemicals out of our food chain - Many pesticides approved by the E.P.A were registered before there was extensive research which links these chemicals to cancer and other diseases.

Helps small family farmers

Supports a farm economy without government handouts - Modern conventional farmers received billions in federal subsidies this year alone.

Promotes bio-diversity with crop rotations and sustainable farming practices.

Better tasting products.
