Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program (Currently our 2010 CSA season is FULL)

Members of the CSA buy a subscription to the farm early in the year, which helps to pay for the seeds and farm equipment needed to get the season rolling. Additional revenue from the CSA program directly supports our farms and staff, helping us to sustain our vision of urban agriculture and nutrition education. For 25 weeks, beginning in the Spring and running into the Fall, CSA members visit the Park Place farm site to receive a weekly box of in-season organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs freshly harvested from our sites at Park Place and Mt. Laurel. Each box contains a family-sized variety of produce valued at $20 as well as a newsletter complete with healthy recipes and updates about farm life and events. The Jones Valley CSA encourages a strong sense of community investment, hosting a Spring CSA potluck supper and family-friendly volunteer opportunities over the Summer. A limited number of work/trade positions are available each season. If you are interested in being contacted next year regarding our 2011 CSA program, please contact andrea@jvuf.org with 2011 in the subject line. andrea@jvuf.org
