More Information on the vegetables available through the CSA:
Amaranth Acres makes available for purchase the vegetables grown at the farm through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. By becoming a CSA member you are investing in locally grown vegetables and receive a share of the vegetables grown at the farm. Our growing season normally runs from late spring through early fall. Our vegetables are grown using organic practices without any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Vegetables available through this CSA are a combination of ethnic Indian vegetables along with greens, regular summer vegetables and herbs. Weekly pickup can be at the farm or at predetermined locations on designated days. We will work with you to make the process easy and simple. Beginning of the season the quanitity and variety of vegetables are smaller with more emphasis on greens and towards the middle of the season the variety and quantity tend to be more. The commitment is for 20 weeks but the full season can sometimes last as long as 22-24 weeks. Of course this is heavily weather dependent.

CSA Agreement
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship between the farmer and the CSA member. CSA member is sharing the risks inherent in agriculture that come with the growing season (including weather, insects, crop diseases, etc.) with the other CSA members and the farmer. In very rare cases where there is a crop failure the members may not receive their anticipated share. The size and duration of each share is dependent on these variables.The members share in the bounty and enjoy farm fresh vegetables every season.
