CSA farm share opportunity Barnardsville
Te Ivy Creek Family Farm in
Barnardsville is participating in a Community Supported Agriculture initiative that will provide a direct connection between community members and local farmers. CSA farm members contribute to
Ivy Creek Family Farm by purchas- ing a share of the season’s harvest in advance. In making this commit- ment ahead of time, farm members join the farm’s owners in assum- ing the risks and rewards of each season. With their CSA payment, members enable the farm to pay for seeds, supplies, equipment mainte- nance and other costs necessary to
operate the farm. In turn, the farm provides members with a weekly box of fresh vegetables herbs, fruits, and flowers throughout the harvest season. A whole share will cost $500 and
a half-share will cost $375. Te Ivy Creek Family Farm
grows an abundant selection of veg- etables, fruits, and flowers using all natural practices with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. During the growing season, CSA members can visit the farm to pick up their week- ly shares or join the farm for one or more volunteer days. A harvest season will last approx-
imately 22 weeks from early May to early October. Te farm will strive to provide 10-12 different items each week, containing several pounds of produce and a grocery bag full of vegetables. Shares can be picked up from 4
pm to 6 pm on Tursdays at the farm or on Wednesday at the Weav- erville Tailgate Market or Saturday at the North Asheville Tailgate Market. For more information, email
wncfarm@gmail.com or call 626- 2447.
