Piedmont Biofarms is pleased to announce the opening of its CSA.
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
A CSA derives some or all of its support from members who contribute financially to the farm in exchange for a weekly share of farm vegetables. The farm receives payment at the beginning of the season which allows it to finance the planting of the crops.
In this way, the members and the farmer share the risks of farming along with the benefits. Members can pick up vegetables on the day they are harvested, and get the opportunity to try new vegetables, and beautiful heirloom varieties of the ones they already love.
In the Piedmont Biofarms CSA, we are dividing our year long growing season into several harvest sessions.
The first session is 10 weeks and will last from October 9th-
December 18th . We will be harvesting eggplants, peppers, okra, basil, green beans, head lettuce, salad mix, carrots, beets, spinach, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, collards, swiss chard, sweet potatoes, and more this Fall. You will have at least 5 or 10
items to choose from each week. The cost for the session is $110 and includes a $10 administrative fee along with the first $100 worth of vegetables that you order.
On the Monday morning of each week of the session, we will send out an email with a list of available produce along with prices. To place your order, you simply reply to the email with what you would like to purchase and in what quantity by 8am on the Tuesday morning of each week.
We will assemble your order and have it ready for you to pick up from the farm anytime between 2 and 6pm on Tuesday. We will deduct the price of what you order each week from your $100 account. The minimum order for each week is $10, but feel free to order as much as you want.
Which means it will look like this:
1. Email goes out to
members describing
the week’s available
harvest on Monday morning.
2. Members respond
to email with their
order, ready for pickup Tuesday at 2:00.
3. Members pick up their order at the Piedmont (Industrial location, south side of Building 3) and enjoy veggies for the week.
To sign up, please drop us an email with your name, phone number, street address, email address, and where you would like to receive your weekly ordering information (please only include one email address/share). Also send a check written out to Piedmont
Biofarms with CSA on the memo line to:

I don′t care how good the talent is.” Today, the 58-year-old New Yorker begins the …
