About Homesteads for Hope CSA
Homesteads for Hope is a non-profit farm where our mission is to promote sustainable lifestyles and futures to create a collaborative community that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We offer a half share (picked up bi-weekly) and a full share (picked up weekly) option. Each CSA purchase directly funds the continuation of our programs, the growth of our farm, and employment opportunities for adults with and without disabilities who want to work in agriculture. For 20 weeks CSA members receive an abundance of vegetables that are grown using organic methods as well as weekly newsletters featuring letters from the farmer, recipes, storage techniques and more. We hope to see you in 2024!
