We are off the a great start. Aside from the weather from last week, it has been great.
New to the blog, we will be featuring a farmer and a vendor every week.
Green Beginnings Farm:
Green Beginnings was founded in 2002, and farmer Tyson Heusser came to this area to farm along side some good friends he attended Cal Poly with. Over the past year he has devoted his efforts into a local farming operation and has gained a huge amount of experience on the ranch where the Green Beginnings Farm will be located. Tyson would like to invite you to become a part of the 2010 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).
What is a CSA and how does it work?
CSA is a partnership of mutual commitment between a farm and a community of supporters which provides a direct link between the production and consumption of food. Local farms are teaming up to bring you the oppertunity to recieve a weekly box of fresh and healthy produce grown right here in your community. Produce will be available from May to November and will consist of a weekly supply of for approximately a family for four. Weekly pick ups can be made at the Gridley Farmer's Market. Contact Tyson for more information greenbeginnings@live.com.
