I had a friend in Ann Arbor, MI ask for information on CSA programs. I checked it out and the information is a bit overwhelming! But if you go to this URL: http://www.ecovian.com/s/ann-arbor-mi/csa-food-delivery, you can see the entire list. Here are some of the interesting programs available:
1) Capella Farm (http://capellafarm.com): The program is generally a summer program, but they had an extended season this past year. They are accepting applications for this summer: 20 week program for $600, half shares are $325. The half shares pick up every other week instead of every week.
2) Sunseed Farm (http://www.farmsunseed.com/): This farm has three shares: winter, summer and fall. The shares are prepaid in this program. The summer share is 16 weeks and costs $560. The winter and fall shares are the same length and cost. Applications are now being taken for the summer 2011 share.
3) Two Creeks Organics (http://www.twocreeksorganics.com/): This program involves the community even more by having Farm Days and festivals. This one has a full-share and half share programs at $600 and $325, respectively. The other interesting program at Two Creeks are work shares. The share will be provided for 8 hours work a month (total 48 hrs for share). These shares are limited, so call 734-678-1984 to inquire.
4) Beautiful Earth Family Farm (http://www.beautifulearthfarm.com/): This farm is located in Chelsea, MI. They offer 20 weekly shares for $500. They actually have pickup locations not only in Ann Arbor, but Chelsea, Detroit and Ypsilanti.
5) Tantre Farm (http://tantrefarm.com/): This farm provides pickup at the Ann Arbor Farmers’ Market. You may also pick up at the farm. The 20-week share programs cost $600 for farmers’ market pickup or $575 for farm pickup.
6) Community Farm of Ann Arbor (http://www.communityfarmofaa.org/): This program has been around since 1988! They shares are $700-1800 and you can get split shares. This is another farm that holds events and festivals for the participants.
