Harvest Shares

Community members become shareholders of the farm by purchasing a share of the harvest each spring. This cost supports growing a diverse selection of fruit and veggies each year that are then distributed back to the shareholders. Summer shareholders come to the farm once per week June through October (summer shares beginning in 2009), while the Thanksgiving and December Holiday shareholders come once during each month of November and December.

The produce is fresh and seasonal, meaning the vegetables are often picked the morning of your pick up and will be as diverse as possible for the time of year. We work our hardest to produce the highest quality of food each year, however due to weather, wild animals and other pests, some years the harvest may be more bountiful than others. Every season is different, yet we always plant excess to ensure a bounty of weekly food.

As with our pastured animals, we believe in crop rotation and resting plots of land in order to produce healthy vegetables while maintaining healthy soils.

What is a CSA?

By becoming a shareholder at Little Ridge Farm, you have the opportunity to build a relationship between your food, the land it was grown on and the people who grew it. This marketing method is called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Community Supported Agriculture translated means “food with a farmer’s face on it”. The concept began in Japan in the 1960’s and has since spread through Europe and the United States.
