CSA
CSA stands for Community Shared Agriculture. In a CSA, a farmer grows food for a pre-determined group of consumers who pay an annual fee to purchase their share of the harvest. The risks of a harvest are carried by both the consumer and the farmer. Of course, the bountiful harvests are rewarded accordingly. At Rock-N-Horse farm we use no pesticides, no insecticides and no chemical fertilizers to try and give you the healthiest vegetables we can. Cash, Cheque or Email Transfer.
