Welcome. We are pleased to announce Willow Way’s Herbal CSA.
Garden South 1
Our CSA offers fresh culinary herbs and a variety of herbal medicinal products. The concept of Community Suppported Agriculture (CSA) has spread across the country quickly. It is an idea that is a good fit for the times. When you pay for a farm-share up-front before the growing season, you are provided with a weekly share of fresh organic produce throughout the growing season, while lessening the farmer’s risk. People are recognizing the importance of knowing where their food came from, and feeling urgent about cutting the petro-calories in each calorie of food. For the same reasons, Herbal CSAs are emerging out of the yearning for respect for the land, and relationship with it.
In our quest to provide a Permaculture model, we aim at growing what we need on our site to maintain a healthy nutrient balance in our soil. That is, we are designing our system so that in time, perhaps 3-4 years, we will not have to truck in any inputs, we will be growing all of our fertilizer on-site. This is “Permaculture”. We are not yet certified as organic. However, we do not use any chemical fertilizer or toxic pest controls on our land.
What is a Willow Way Permaculture Herbal Share?
Our Herbal CSA shares provide you with quality herb teas for your table, vibrant medicinal herbal products to keep you healthy, as well as culinary herbs. A share consists of a wide variety of herbal health preparations containing herbs organically grown on our farm. In general, they contain formulas that both enhance vitality and address a variety of common conditions.
We grow herbs that are native or well-adapted here, thus not needing excessive inputs, preferably those with low-water needs. We also grow local natives that are under pressure from over-harvesting. We are offering shares for four seasons, described below. Paying for your share now will enable us to move forward with our production plans for 2010. We are so appreciative of your participation.
