Hippocrates in 400 BC
Please consider joining the Winter CSA season and telling your friends about it too.
Appreciate and enjoy an array of items offered weekly for your whole menu, all biodynamic or organic nutrient-dense foods, cooking and eating according to the seasons, and perhaps most important this year is supporting good farm and the spirit of community!
It is a blessing to serve the table with the certainty that your family is nourished with food free of chemicals, hormones and genetically manufactured products and to be supporting farms that heal the earth and protect our food supply.

On The Spiritual Food CSA
Things have changed since we began operation in 1998:
v There is a high level of awareness of the food/health connection – more people want real food: unprocessed and not tampered with
v People are concerned about food security
v More people want to eat locally and seasonally, and support small farms
v Climate change is affecting farmers and the food supply
v The government is cracking down on farms and on organized people who are trying to maintain there right to healthy food and making it harder and harder for small farms to stay in operation.
There is also lots of fear for the future, and we believe the best response to fear is LOVE:
v Love of life, Mother Earth, oneself, other people near and far, love of all creation
v Love in the broadest sense of the word: trust, faith, accepting, self-sacrifice, all-inclusive; ultimately unconditional
v Love in action
Community Supported Agriculture is one way to put love into action. We encourage your continued commitment, especially as the weather patterns put stress on the farms. This is something we need to remind ourselves of constantly, especially in these times when food security is a concern - how we as a community, with the financial resources we have, can keep alive the ideal of preserving those farms that will safe-keep the land, knowledge and capacity to produce truly healthy food.
What is unique about this CSA? It is founded on these basic principles:
Good Food <> Healthy Soil/Healthy Planet <> Equitable Economics <> Supporting a net of Small Farmers <> Service <> Community
Therefore, we are asking you to consider participating and also to help spread the word about our CSA in your community. Can you post a flyer at work, school, stores, or forward this link to your local list?
SEASON STARTS IN 3 WEEKS – NOW IS THE TIME
although we will take later registrations if there is still space

Foods in the mode of ignorance or darkness are essentially those that are not fresh. Any food cooked more than three hours before it is eaten (except prasādam, food offered to the Lord) is considered to be in the mode of darkness.
