| Black Cat Farm CSA Farm Shares |
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is simply a
community of people centered around a farm. In the case of
the Black Cat Farm it is that and a little more.
The Black Cat CSA is a weekly share of the farm and
restaurant's harvest and a community of those who love food
and love to cook. It is for those who live and breathe great
food, wine and dining.
Black Cat farm produces vegetables, lettuces and herbs of the
highest quality. We strive for a tremendous diversity of
varieties (about 250 each year) all selected for nothing other
than great flavor. The huge variety of produce insures a
constantly changing mix of produce from week to week.
By purchasing a Black Cat Farm CSA share members
participate in the inner workings of the farm and restaurant
through visits to the farm, conversations with the farmers and
chefs and by experiencing the slow turn of the seasons as
viewed through the weekly share.
As the mix of produce in each week's share changes it affords
the opportunity to learn new recipes and cooking techniques
from the restaurant's professional chefs. In many ways
members participate in a season-long cooking class!
To be a shareholder at Black Cat Farm is to share in the risks
and rewards of each farm season.
To share the rewards means not just seeing a larger share
when crops produce bountifully, but also to experience many
of the intangible rewards that the farm has to offer. These
include having a space to call “my” farm, getting to know your
farmers and chefs and having opportunities to connect with
other shareholders.
