HOW IS OUR CSA DIFFERENT?



       It is time to sign up for our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program! There are so many ways to make this a convenient, healthy and fun part of your existing lifestyle routine. Since we offer half and full season, family and single size, office delivery and discounted rates for lower-income costumers, there is really no excuse to not become a CSA member.

        Knowing that you are signing up to receive fresh, in-season, local quality produce each week is enough to make it 100% worthwhile to become a member of our CSA program. Incorporating the Fresh Start Farms produce into your summer, fall and sometimes winter diet means that you are doing a great service to your own health, as well as the heath of those you feed and the earth you live on. This alone is enough to know that you are contributing positively to environmental and health solutions for our planet. 

HOWEVER....
When you sign up with Fresh Start Farms and Cultivating Community, you are doing 
SO MUCH MORE.
The Fresh Start Farms farmers are some of the most socially disadvantaged farmers in the country. This means that they are producing beautiful and healthy produce in abundance despite the challenges of language, literacy, and transportation to name a few. Establishing a connection with the Fresh Start Farms growers is a wonderful way to learn about the diverse communities in Maine, and to teach children, friends and teachers about the intersections of social, environmental and personal health.

Please get in touch with us if you would like us to come and present about our program at your office or school.
