Fail Better Farms is continuing to evolve as Aaron and I learn how to juggle the different components of farm life. We’ve decided the best model of produce sales for us is a CSA, so this coming growing season we’re seeking five households that are interested in joining us on this adventure.

What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture is basically a subscription to the crops a farm has to offer. The customer pays a designated amount to become a member of the CSA. Then, throughout the growing season, the farmer provides the customer with weekly shares of the harvest. The customer benefits from the bounty and planning of the farmer, but also shares in any weeks that are less bountiful.

What’s in the works to make this happen?

We recently ordered a hoop house to extend our growing season.
Aaron built a bubbler, which we’ll use to clean fresh salad greens before bagging them for our customers.
We’re working to create a cold storage room on property using a CoolBot. This way we’ll be able to store crops at peak condition for our customers.

What crops will be included in the CSA shares?

We’ll offer kale, broccoli, green cabbage, tomatoes, collard greens carrots, beets, turnips, sugar snap peas, eggplant, scallions, basil, yellow squash, cucumbers, green peppers, green beans, spring onion, salanova lettuce, and sweet potatoes.

Why are we only taking on 5 households?!

Plain and simple, we want to provide our customers with the best experience possible, and we can’t do that if we stretch ourselves too thin.
