Join Our CSA Today! 

Community Supported Agriculture is a movement that began in Massachusetts in 1985 in order to create a partnership between farmers and their consumers.  Today, most fresh fruits and vegetables purchased in the United States travel an average of 1,400 miles between the fields in which they are grown, and the kitchen tables on which they are consumed.  CSA’s mission is to create a connection between people and the healthy food they eat and the land on which it is grown. Today there are over 1200 CSA’s scattered across the United States. 
 
Since our inception, Kathy’s Pumpkin Patch believes in this mission and the importance of “local” food choices for our customers, family, and friends.  Because of this, for the past three years, we have been a member of “Buy Fresh, Buy Local,” a comprehensive marketing program for farmers selling directly to consumers, restaurants, grocery stores and other institutions.

Beginning last summer (2007), in order to take our dream one step further, we began offering an alternative to our current food system for our customers by offering our own “Veggie Venture” CSA.  Once again this year, we invite you to explore our CSA program, and get to know each of us that grow your food. 

Why join CSA? If you enjoy eating a variety of fresh summertime produce, but don’t want to grow your own extensive garden or shop the Farmer’s Market on a weekly basis then joining a CSA is your answer!   Joining a CSA also allows you to share where your food comes from and how it is grown with your children, to enjoy the convenience of a weekly delivery with recipes and newsletter, and to enjoy the adventure of trying new things and sharing that excitement with your family.

Please contact us at 319-470-1558, if you have any further questions about our 2008 "Veggie Venture" or if you would like to sign up for our 2008 season, just complete the membership form and mail it in to us!
