Vegetable CSA 2010
Beaver Creek Gardens CSA is in it's second year. CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a great way for the consumer to "know your farmer, know your food." Beaver Creek Gardens currently is delivering 3/4 bushel boxes to the Crystal Lake area for 20 weeks beginning in June through October. Last year we provided for 24 shareholders and are planning on doubling that this year as we have more than doubled the acres in production. We also have an egg subscription CSA that we continue to run through the winter months for close to 20 subscribers.
Beaver Creek Gardens organically produces its fruits and vegetables. A partial list of vegetables includes many different lettuces, asparagus, radishes, several varieties of carrots, onions, tomatoes, peppers, peas, melons, squashes, potatoes, kale, kohlrabi, turnips, cucumbers, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and herbs. Our 2010 pricing is on the right.
We are located in northeast Boone County and farming approximately three acres of our five acre farm that also currently houses our 22 laying hens and one rooster.
