About the Farm
Background
Sunnyside CSA has established partnerships with Golden Earthworm Organic Farm for vegetables and Briermere Farm for fruit. The CSA operates with a focus on community involvement, requiring members to volunteer for four hours per season. The program aims to provide the healthiest and best-tasting food at an affordable price, with a special emphasis on supporting those facing financial difficulties through subsidized shares.
Practices
The CSA sources its vegetables from Golden Earthworm Organic Farm, which is known for its commitment to organic farming practices. By partnering with local farms, the CSA ensures that all produce is fresh and organic, adhering to principles that promote soil health and ecological balance. The volunteer-driven model underscores a community-centric approach, fostering a direct connection between members and their food sources.
The Rest
Share pickups occur once a week at Sunnyside Community Services, and the CSA is entirely volunteer-run, emphasizing the importance of community involvement. The CSA offers subsidized shares at a 50% discount for those experiencing financial difficulties, ensuring access to healthy food for all. Members can stay informed about pickup dates, open houses, and other events through the CSA's calendar and social media channels.
