Why CSA?
We would like to get away from the commoditisation of the food we produce, where a commodity is stripped of its story in order to become a label and take a market value. Labels and certifications, as much as they provide an approximation of provenance, also create a barrier, something to hide behind. In that system farmers are neither compelled nor obliged to be public facing, while eaters are prevented from probing more deeply into the origins of their food, the people who produced it or the landscape it was drawn from.
By contrast, we would like to invite you into and become part of our story—our challenges, learnings and achievements, as we strive to express our values in our farming and sharing what comes of it.
CSA offers a way to decommodify our food, to find supporters who we can speak to directly, and with that support, commit to our story without compromise.
