Bio-Ecstatic Foods

Platte Prairie Farms 2016 Summer CSA Agreement

What Is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an alliance between farmers and eaters. Families
and individuals who join the CSA receive a share of produce every week for 20 weeks from May
28th to October 8th. We become a community supporting our local secure food system by
adding our human Energy and Spirit. In exchange, members sign a contract for the season,
agree to pay in advance, Both partners share in the risks and rewards of small-scale farming:
weather, insect damage, deer, and bumper crops.
What Is My Share of the Food?
The weekly food share includes an average of 7 to 9 items for full shares, and 4 to 6 for partial shares
(less early and late in the season, and more at peak season). A full share should be ample for a family of
four, or two adults who cook at home regularly. A partial share is a good size for a single person or two
adults who dont cook at home every night. Bulk quantities can be purchased for canning, freezing, and
storage.
Every week the share of produce will vary....more drastically with the changes in season.
For example:

Spring - cabbage, baby beets w/greens, green onions, carrots w/tops, lettuce, arugula, peas, radishes,
turnips, kale, spinach, chard and other greens and herbs and flowers.
Summer - tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, okra, cucumbers, onions, green beans, summer
squash/zucchini, potatoes, sweet corn, lettuce, kale, edible flowers, basil, cilantro and assorted herbs,
raspberries, strawberries, plums,
Fall - lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, winter squash, chard, carrots, sweet potatoes, collard
greens and herbs, apples, pears.
