CSA

We are so excited about our CSA!

Just look at this yummy stuff from a local farm at Johns Island. YUMMO!

We are so excited about this program, we pay a upfront "membership" fee and each week fresh produce is delivered to Summerville (to multiple families).


Collards. I have never eaten collards and never wanted too. But because of CSA I made them for the first time last week. I made creamed collards, which is not the traditional southern of making them, but they were awesome!

Radishes.

Escarole.

Strawberries.


What is CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership of mutual commitment between a local farmer and the people who consume his/her fresh produce, creating a bond between the farm and the community supporting it. Members purchase a "share" of the farm's anticipated fresh, highest quality food grown the safest most organic method possible. This partnership offers the perfect win/win situation to Members and their families by giving them the best quality, freshest, widest variety of sustainably grown produce and ensures the survival of the local family farm's future by guarantying the farmer a fair economic return for his efforts.
