Chicken and Egg CSA info



Cristo Rey Farms
CSA 2015
Eggs and Chicken

           



We are pleased to announce our 2015 CSA!!
Participants will receive priority discounted shares of farm fresh chicken, eggs and pork. 


 What is a CSA?
A CSA is an acronym for "Community Supported Agriculture".  In a CSA, customers pre-invest in their food and regularly receive a share in the harvest of the farm.  The farm accepts a fixed amount of money at the beginning of the season from a set amount of customers. This money is used to finance the new growing season, helps the farm continue to grow and develop and shares some of the risk of farming with the customer.  

The customer in turn benefits by  a discount on the highest quality foods, helps ensure that their food source will continue and is able to actually see and even participate in the production of their food.  Using this system makes it easier for farms to “go organic”, because  the high risk of organic farming is  spread out among many financial participants.


With a PCSA (Participatory CSA- coming soon to CRF), customers are invited to join in with actual farming- the farmer gains in labor and the customer and their families in discounts, free food, education in sustainable farming practices and the ultimate agri-tourism adventure!
