 Community Supported Agriculture

Upon many requests from our customers The Bergefurd Family Farm will again be offering CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm shares for the upcoming growing season.
What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)? A CSA allows you to enjoy family farm raised garden varieties (non shipping and good tasting types) of small fruit, melons and vegetables selected by your very own personal family of farmers. By subscribing online and sending in your payment along with the signed printed form (which can be found here ) for the growing season you are guaranteed a weekly harvest share of the freshest produce available.

Our families CSA is different from others in that along with your weekly fresh picked produce you also receive a personal invitation to our farms annual CSA member family fun fall festival the second weekend in October (see more information below). Also members will receive our CSA Friends newsletter which will update you on our farm activities, what is being harvested and planted and how the season is treating us. Our newsletter will also provide recipes that can be used with your produce shares along with tips on how to handle, prepare and preserve your produce items.

Reasons for subscribing to our family farm CSA:

  • Knowing where and how your food is grown.
  • Having your own personal farmers that you know on a first name basis
  • Having someone who can answer your questions about produce and growing.
  • Quicker service by knowing your produce will be packed and readily available at pick up (no more having to wait in line or fearing produce may be sold out)
  • Sustaining a healthier way of life by knowing your produce is fresh picked daily on a local farm and not traveling across the United States or from another country on a dirty airplane or semi truck that has hauled who knows what else from who knows what other country and has been treated with post harvest chemicals and fungicides to prevent spoilage en route to get to your families table.
  • Your opportunity to support local farm families, local agriculture and local communities.
  • By supporting local farmers, your money stays within the local communities and does not support big corporate grocery stores, trucking companies, fuel companies and corporate farms 1000’s of miles away. 

Our family produces a wide variety of farm products for our customers including small fruit, melons and vegetable crops. This is a great opportunity to keep fresh, seasonal farm raised produce on your table all season long.

Due to the high taxes, insurance and fees imposed on organic farmers by government certification agencies, we are not certified organic. We do practice organic crop production methods, follow strict integrated pest management guidelines and use production practices that limit produce contamination from natural soil and air born diseases and insects. These practices include succession plantings (always harvesting young plantings), living cover crops, contamination barrier mulches, landscape fabric, organic mulches and plastic mulch to reduce weed growth and soil born disease transmission, composts for fertilizer, attraction of beneficial insects (good bugs that eat the bad bugs), frequent watering and feeding of our crops from our 3 million gallon pond (like humans, plants that eat and drink regularly are healthier and less susceptible to disease). We raise our livestock humanely and naturally in a cage free environment. We feel much better feeding our own children the food we raise on our farm, you should feel better as well knowing and seeing where your food comes from.

See our Flyer on the complete CSA program and what it can offer you !

Our Growing Practices....
We grow our crops by using Organic, Sustainable, Conventional and Integrated Pest Management methods and practices. We drip irrigate all of our crops which reduces plant stress, resulting in a decrease in pest and disease problems as well as increasing the quality, size and sugar levels in our vegetable and berry crops. We make several plantings of each vegetable and melon crop throughout the season so that we are always harvesting a fresh crop that is not infected with disease or insect pests and is of much higher quality for our customers.
