Be a part of Downing Hollow

Community Supported Agriculture groups (CSA's) arose where urban folk wanted both fresh farm produce and a sense of where it came from. Typically, consumers will buy a one time 'share' in the farm's productivity at the beginning of the season, and receive a half-bushel of freshly-picked produce every week. They can even visit the farm and see how their vegetables are doing – great fun for the kids!

That's our basic model at Downing Hollow Farm, but we do some things a little differently, like allowing people to pay a bit every month so they don't have to summon up all the cash at once. We also encourage our customers to visit the farm and see how their stuff is coming along. You can even name your favorite watermelons. Just think of us as your place in the country – then take the flavor of our wholesome little hollow back home with you.

We are totally committed to organic growing priniciples. Your food from Downing Hollow will be completely free of synthetic chemicals or genetic modifications. We can also be your gateway to Olive Hill community growers, as diverse and friendly a bunch of neighbors as you could wish for. From time to time, we'll include some of their harvest as well – and they follow organic principles too.

And just for good measure, Alex will occassionally don his baker's hat and throw in some homemade bagels, scones, or artisanal bread.

Although we have all the subscribers we can handle this summer, we'd love to hear from you. Perhaps you'd like to join our fall CSA?
