What is Community Sponsored Agriculture?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a unique agreement between a farmer and their customers.  It is a sharing of risk that allows for the continued production of healthy food and the preservation of clean air, water, soil, and biodiversity.

Each year, you pay up front for a share of the harvest, becoming a shareholder of the farm.  The yearly share price reflects the actual running costs of the farm, and in return you get a weekly share of produce based on the farm’s production. The farm gets money at the beginning of the season, when it is most needed, and you get fresh, organic produce at conventional, supermarket prices. You enjoy delicious food while helping to preserve open space and native wild species in Brookhaven Hamlet.

The HOG is truly a community supported farm, we have lots of potluck dinners, workdays, and seasonal festivals to help foster this community of families.
