CSA|FARM SHARES

Community Supported Agriculture shares (CSA or Farm Shares) 
are partnerships between growers and “share-holders” (CSA members). 
CSA members pre-purchase food shares from the farmer providing financial support in the spring,
when it counts the most, before the growing season begins. 
In exchange, CSA members receive high-quality, freshly harvested produce 
while supporting the preservation of sustainable, local, community-based agriculture. 
Additionally, members get to experience “eating seasonally” and the 
natural rhythms of the growing season. 

GROW WITH US!

At The Bird & The Beasts’ Farmstead we deeply value our community and strive to
provide access to fresh vegetables of the highest quality. 

We are careful to utilize growing practices that nurture the land through soil building,  regenerative, low to no-till & plant-based principles. 
We grow all our produce using only organic, non-GMO, open-pollinated seed and without the use of synthetic chemicals, harmful pesticides, or animal by-products.
