CHI Farms - Summer CSA 2015
We want to help you feed your family farm fresh vegetables this summer. To do that, we are offering our second annual summer CSA (that stands for community-supported agriculture). If you have never heard of a CSA, think of it as a subscription food program. When you buy a share of our CSA, you provide us with money up-front to buy the seeds, tools, and supplies we need
to have a successful growing season. In turn, you receive a share of the fresh produce we produce every week during the season. Here is how it will works
Every Wednesday afternoon at 1pm, starting in June, we will pack up the best of that morning's harvest into “CSA boxes” ready for you to pickup here at the farm or at the WSU Extension office on the fairgrounds (you will let us know your preferred pickup location when you subscribe). Here are a few more details:
- The CSA will run for 16 weeks, beginning June 17 (if the season permits, we may extend the CSA accordingly)
- Enjoy our weekly newsletter with the latest news from the farm, information about the items in your CSA box, including recipes and ideas on how to prepare them
- In addition to many standard vegetables, we will include opportunities to try new vegetables (will be in the weekly newsletter)
- We will hold three Saturday “field days” here at the farm to see how your food is growing and meet your farmers
- Join early and give us ideas about what you would like to see in your CSA boxes this season.
2015 Summer CSA Share prices:
- Full share: $400 (enough for 4-6 people)
- Half share: $250 (enough for 2-3 people)
By investing in our farm this summer, you will literally share in the bounty of our farm. While we will do our best to make sure that the season is a success, we cannot control the elements. By investing, you are taking on that risk, along with us, and agree not hold us responsible for conditions and events out of our control. We hope you will want to be part of our adventure here this growing season. Farm-fresh Eggs
We sell farm-fresh eggs daily from our farm north of Cheney, WA. Our hens are fed a corn-free, soy-free (meaning GMO-free) diet, and get to freely roam the farm every day. This means our brown, green, blue, and green eggs are healthy with dark, rich yolks. Try our farm-fresh eggs today, only $3/dozen. Heritage Pork
Heritage hogs have a long history of providing small farmers with healthy, delicious pork to bring to their families. Our Large Black and Berkshire (relatively longer and leaner) hogs produce well-marbled, juicy meat, and we are taking deposits ($150 for a half, $300for whole hogs) for our July/August 2015 harvest, now. Price is $3.00/lb hanging weight (plus the butcher's fees). Pastured Lamb
Our 2015 lambing season is expected to begin in March, check back for more information. Wool Fiber
This Spring we will have have wool (white, and brown Shetland, and cream-colored Tunis) available. Let us know if you are interested in raw fleece, rovings, or yarn (natural or dyed).
