Don't miss out on enjoying more fresh and organic produce through the fall season...Fall shares are limited!!!..

So reserve your Fall Share today!!!!

When you become a member of Garden Destinations’ CSA you will receive a weekly share of fresh, certified organically grown, in-season produce, a weekly newsletter, recipes, opportunities to participate in Learn and Grow workshops and invitations to Garden Destination farm events.

Each week members receive a diverse mix of our fresh, in-season produce. We strive to provide a variety of high-quality produce every week although the variety and quantity of weekly shares will vary as the season progresses and depends ultimately on nature’s conditions. We will offer approximately 20 weeks of produce, from June through October.

Most of our vegetables are harvested only hours before they are packed up for you, so you are receiving produce that a few hours earlier was growing right in our gardens. A fresher product provides more nutrition. We are a local farm so you will be eating produce that is grown within several miles of your own home.

All members receive our weekly newsletter “What’s In My Box” which details the week’s produce, storage tips, recipes, farm stories and more!

Our Learn & Grow Farm workshops through Garden Destination Organic Learning Center are also available to our members and are offered monthly throughout the growing season. Learn & Grow Farm workshops are hands-on and interactive, with most topics focused on teaching you how to grow the same healthy & organic foods in a sustainable manner. Workshops will begin at the start of the growing season and a list of specific workshops will be posted on our website.

Your membership helps us pay for seeds, water, equipment maintenance, labor, and supplies. Becoming a CSA member fosters responsible relationships between the food you eat, the land on which it is grown and those who grow it.

Thank you for your interest in our CSA program! One of the most rewarding and satisfying aspects of farming is getting to know the people who eat the wonderful food we grow. We look forward to meeting and working with you during our 2013 season.

Best wishes for a healthy and bountiful year,

Donna & Rick Wilterdink

Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program nurtures a partnership between you and our farm, and fosters a relationship between the consumption and production of our food and recognizes the importance of eating healthy whole foods and the sustainable manner in which they are grown. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement, where in exchange for your commitment to buy a share in our farm's harvest, we commit to growing exceptionally high quality vegetables, fruits and herbs, and provide a bountiful portion of it to you during the peak of the growing season.

 Our commitment is to grow the most delicious, beautiful, high quality organic produce the earth is able to offer. Certified organic for us, does not mean simply refraining from the use of pesticides or synthetic chemicals. It is a commitment to a sound, sustainable and healthy approach to our soil and the way we grow plants. Our soil is fed and enriched continually. We view our farm and our soil as living organisms to care for and nourish.
