CSA Farm Members Open House and Field Day
Every season we host a field day on the farm for all our CSA members, and their friends and family. This gives our members the opportunity to meet all the farmers and strengthen their connection to the place where their food is grown. Our members get to tour and harvest some vegetables fresh from the field, and simply enjoy their farm!
