Why Invest in a CSA?

FARMER’S PROCLAIMATION

Our current food system is NOT working for most consumers. Most of the food we buy from the grocer is 2-3 weeks old + tasteless. At River Rock we harvest 1 - 2 days prior to sharing it. This peak freshness ensures maximum nutrition + flavor. Additionally, we only use natural growing methods - no pesticides or chemical fertilizer. Let’s face it…food is costly but buying from us means no middle man. We pass on the savings to you – in turn, you help to support a small + local business rather than a large subsidized corporation.

WHAT IS A CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a production model whereby consumers buy shares of a farm's harvest in advance. Consumers become CSA members by paying an agreed amount at the beginning of the growing season, either in one lump sum or in installments. In return, they receive a weekly share of fresh vegetables. This mutually-beneficial agreement enables the farmer to focus on what’s important – feeding consumers delicious + healthful food!!

"I’ve been a CSA member for 1 season now and am constantly raving about Tanner and River Rock Gardens to anyone who will listen! We’re so happy we get to support a local farmer and benefit with super fresh, delicious local produce every week. It’s always a pleasure to interact with Tanner, and he’s gone above and beyond to make sure we’re happy. A million thanks to him for doing all the hard work so it’s easy for us to eat local!"
