Get Fresh Organic Local Food with Community Supported Agriculture  CSA also called community supported agriculture are gatherings that have an incredible approach to providing support to farmers working on a small scale local farm. This association has been made to make sure that you will get fresh and organic food items like vegetables, fruits, eggs and meat in your refrigerator.
A few years ago it was very difficult to find local food, however, today joining a CSA is simpler than at any other time.
What Is a Community Supported AgricultureA CSA is an alternate method for getting fresh and seasonal food items on your table. Rather than purchasing your grocery grown from the grounds of a merchant or agent, a CSA is a perfectly managed gathering of clients and farmers who arrange to offer shares of the agriculturists' products to the clients, who thus sponsor the gardeners, their operations and regularly their families.  Some CSA's send straightforwardly to client homes; however, others permit you to get your share at an adjacent gathering point and others are available to pick up right from the farm gate.
When you join a CSA, you agree to receive and accept fresh organic products, vegetables, eggs and meat from the farmers you will be supporting. The organizers will prepare your boxes and come either week after week or month to month. It all depends upon the calendar of the CSA. Moreover, some CSAs provide products year-round, including fall and winter food items or home-made jams and other products in the winter months.  Numerous CSA's permit you to join per-season so you pay for the regular products you are interested in.
Benefits for farmer

• Get to invest energy advertising the products right on time in the year, prior to their 16 hour days in the field start
• Receive installment right on time in the season, which helps in the positive cash flow of farm
• Have a chance to become more friendly with the general population who eat the food items they are growing

Benefits for customers

• Full flavor, mineral and vitamin benefits from the fresh organic food items
• You will get the seasonal vegetables and will be able to cook new recipes & special dishes
• Usually get the opportunity to visit the farmland at any rate once a season
• You can expose your children to new vegetables and provide them with a nourished diet
• Learn how the food items are grown by developing a strong relation with the farmers

Final verdictIf you do choose to join a CSA, you will join a developing team of individuals who are concerned about their health and food. All you have to do is pay the farmers a reasonable amount of money to support their farm and get your desired vegetables in return. It is much better than buying your groceries from the supermarket because you are supporting the local economy, reducing your carbon footprint, because the food does not need to be trucked in from hundreds or thousands of miles away and you can’t get much fresher than harvesting vegetables the same day you are going to eat them. From farm to your table!  Fresh is best!

Here are a few fun sayings on this bountiful day:

  ​Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently     as the heart of gratitude will allow

Thanksgiving is not just for expressing thanks for what you have. It is also a time to be grateful for what you are going to have. So have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!

God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.

May your stuffing be tasty.
May your turkey plump.
May your potatoes and gravy,
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious,
And your pies take the prize,
nd may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs!

​
From our family to yours, we are thankful for you and
we pray God's blessing upon each and every one of you!

Now that we are coming into the Fall Season; we at Our Father’s Farm want to extend an invitation to all our local customers for our CSA Veggie Basket Program. We are going to extend the program to all returning CSA basket shares and new customers. But you have to hurry and contact us to save your spot! We only have limited spots.

 
Some of the veggies that we have for our 6 week extending program are: spinach, beans, beats, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, peppers (green, red, white), kale, leek, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, and so much more! The veggies are hand-picked and washed each Wednesday morning and are always ready to be picked up mid-afternoon.

 
All of us at Our Father’s Farm enjoy doing this program so much. We all hope that you will consider joining our CSA program. The final date that we will be doing our program for this year is November 6th.   After that date, it gets too cold for our veggies to want to make their appearance.

Our Father's Farm is opening up its barn doors for all the horse lovers out there.

Resting on a beautiful 21 acre farm, with 4-6 grassy paddocks and a outdoor sand arena; as well as access to an abundance of trails. This farm grows it's own organic hay that has alfalfa, timothy, and bermuda. We have four more stalls available and all our paddocks have a run-in shed.

Say hello to Our Father's Farm Goats!! We have five beautiful goats. To the right are our newest members: Milly and Molly. They are Toggenburg goats; please enjoy reading a little about Toggenburg goats

Toggenburg goats are the oldest breed of dairy goats having medium-sized body. They come in various colors ranging from fawn to dark chocolate brown with white marks on the body.  They are commonly raised for producing milk which is usually used to make cheese.

To the left here you can see the Saanen goat (our goat mother) and her babies. Beside her is our little boy and behind are twin girls! Now as you can see Mom's children are a mix breed they are Saanen and Alpine goats.

Please enjoy reading about Saanen and Alpine goats:

Saanen goats are large, white goats with upright ears and originally grown in Switzerland. Saanen goats are heavy producers but their milk is low in butterfat as compared to other dairy goats.

Alpine can easily be found all across US. These goats were first originated in the Alps and are also commonly known as “French Alpine.”  These goats range for medium to large size and adapt to their environment very easily. Due to this, raising them domestically is trouble-free. They come in various colors and patterns. Alpines are one of the  best for dairy farming as their milk contains an average of 3.5% butterfat. However, the downside is that they are seasonal breeders.
