Support our local food economy and savour delicious seasonal foods from June to October! Join the CSA Program at Evergreen Brick Works.
Why join a CSA? Small, independent farmers must find innovative ways to compete with large-scale, industrial agriculture. Joining a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program helps these farmers get their local produce on your kitchen table more readily. By offering you a pre-pay option at the beginning of the season, CSA farmers can plan their harvest appropriately, and provide your local produce every week throughout the season.
New this year! Not ready to commit to a CSA? Our farmers will bring extra produce for you to purchase every Tuesday. Look out for special guest vendors bringing delicious artisanal foods. Everything to get you started for dinner!
For more information on CSA models and to register, contact the participating farmers and producers below.
