Join Dn'D Farms Meat CSA

What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. In this relationship between consumer and farm family, the consumer purchases a share of the current year’s livestock, becoming a shareholder in the farm. As a shareholder, the consumer secures a share of the farm’s annual meat production while enjoying many of the same benefits available to the on-site farm family.

Why a CSA?
We all support causes and organizations that we would like to have available to our futures and the futures of our children, i.e. civic organizations, churches, schools, and lobbies. Today, family farmers and the locally produced food that we all enjoy are at risk. Joining a CSA is a win-win-win! You secure a quality food supply for the year, you work with the farmer to grow your food according to your values, you add stability to the farm operation, and insure future availability of your food.
We would like to think that we know and communicate pretty well with our customers. A CSA takes this relationship to the next level. We have observed that there are certain people, you and us included, who are looking for a greater knowledge of and voice in how our food is grown. A primary objective of our CSA will be to put you in closer touch with our farm, our family, and the food that we deliver. Last but not least, the CSA is an interest community that can share activities, recipes, conversation and good times.

The CSA provides customers with the following:
* Convenience: to purchase the equivalent of a “share” of a whole animal, made up of an assortment of meat types and cuts, without having to buy a whole animal and a large freezer. Small, regular deliveries, make eating locally easier. Receive cuts of meat that are familiar and easy to use.
* Superior Quality: We aim to provide our CSA customers with access to the highest quality of food available in the same time it takes as going through the drive-through (well, almost). Our farming practices are all animals are pasture raised and/or grass fed and humanely treated. We are not Certified Organic. In terms of production practices and quality, we hold ourselves to standards as high as the current Organic standards.
* Availability and consistency: CSA members receive meat shares year round, with a guaranteed quantity of meat delivered.
* Local food shopping ease: An added advantage of the CSA is the ability to purchase extras when members pick up their share - fresh pastured eggs, local maple syrup, natural homemade cleaning products and made from scratch mixes like pancake, brownie, and dressing mixes just to name a few.
