Blue Blaze Farm 2011 CSA

So you are considering joining our CSA, but want to know what it is we're offering to you and what exactly is the whole idea behind it?  Well, we're here to tell you! You've likely heard the phrase "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food".  Well, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an increasingly popular method for consumers to buy local, seasonal food right from the farmer they know and trust!  So, CSA members buy a share of the farm and receive a weekly selection of
seasonal produce throughout the farming season.  You have the great advantage of receiving ultra-fresh food, packed with phenomenal flavor and vitamin benefits, exposure to new veggies and cooking methods, and you develop a relationship with us and come to know exactly how your food is grown. More importantly though, as a CSA member, you are the movers and the shakers behind the growth and sustainability of a farm.  You are the missing link that provides the funding and support that makes it all happen.  You are a special group of people!

Sincerely,

The Blue Blaze Farm Family
Eric, Melody and Sadie Lyn

About Your Farmer

Blue Blaze Farm, established in 2007, is owned and operated by the Shubert Family.  Eric is the laborer and makes things happen around the farm, Melody's creativity and organization allows our business to grow in a forward direction.  And, it is out for debate as to whether our 2½ year old, Sadie Lyn is the best farm help.  But, she sure keeps everyone happy! The "Blue Blaze" refers to the side trail markings so because of our love of the AT, which all began with Eric's 6 month
walk through the woods that spurred on his desire to farm.  And, for the simple fact that well, you can see the Trail from just about anywhere on our property when looking north.

That daily view, our beautiful daughter, and our much enjoyed weekly interaction with you, all help us to keep a healthy perspective of our mission to practice, support, and encourage Nature's sustainability via organic farming methods.  We know you want fresh healthy foods, and want to know where your food is coming from and how it got there.  And, why not?  After all, you are what you eat.

So, we have taken steps we think are worth it, so you know we're worth it!  Our farming family is a member of Certified Naturally Grown, a grassroots certification program with 10,000 farmers worldwide.  We are all fully committed to organic practices and have engaged in a peer-reviewed certification program that helps you buy fresh, locally grown food with confidence - confidence that the food on your table is good for your family and the environment!

We love the community togetherness of the Farmers' Markets and CSA programs and building relationships with you!  We look forward to getting to know you and sharing a healthy slice of life!

 Your farming family,

 Blue Blaze Farm
