Community Supported Agriculture

What is CSA?
Members of Community Supported Agriculture pay up-front in the spring (or establish a payment plan if necessary) when farmers need money for seed, supplies and equipment. In return members receive a weekly share in the farm's harvest. Our CSA community is a place where members share recipes with one another, meet other families and neighbors, and spend time in our members only pick-your-own garden full of flowers, herbs and vegetables for picking right off the plant.
How does it work?
Each week, June through October, you come out to the farm to pick up your share of fresh, local produce expertly harvest in addition to a few crops throughout the season we buy in from local farms. You will always know where your food comes from and it will always be fresh and of the highest quality. If you are unable to pick up your share you can always send a family or friend to pick up your share and experience the joy of delicious seasonal produce. If that is not an option we will gladly donate your share to The Monocacy Farm Project in Bethlehem.
Why CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture re-connects farmers and consumers in an economic model of shared risk and shared reward. Members receive an excellent value, the highest quality produce, and the convenience of a farm right in your community. CSA empowers consumers with the knowledge of where their food comes from and how it was grown. It empower farmers by building lasting relationships with the community who supports our work.
What are your growing practices?
Good Work Farm is so named from an essay by Wendell Berry entitled Conservation Is Good Work. Good farming depends on traditional knowledge, physical labor, and love for one's place on earth. What matters most is a farmer's commitment to their work, their land, their community, and the future of these precious things. At Good Work Farm we try to farm well through hard work, careful planning, paying attention & constantly learning.
We farm on a small scale and market locally. We have been growing to organic standards for the past six years, but are not yet certified organic. We purchase organic seeds whenever possible. We never use Genetically Modified (GMO/ GE) or chemically treated seeds. We use only organically approved fertilizers, amendments, and materials. We use practices to reduce erosion, build soil fertility, improve soil structure, and encourage soil biology.
