A CSA partnership between our farm and the Central Bucks Community will provide a direct link between the production and consumption of food, with the understanding that the healthiest food is grown locally and organically. Our CSA will strive to: develop a regional food source and contribute to a strong local economy; encourage healthy land stewardship; maintain a stable relationship between rural and urban communities; and, promote the renaissance of the small family farm as a way of life.

Just as important as the food we grow, is the community in which we live. There is a beautiful relationship between people and food which can be fostered to strengthen our next generations. Barefoot Gardens will attempt to provide for the basis of a lifestyle which is not dependent upon the aggressive tactics and consumeristic demands of the global economy.

How It Works

Eating locally in Bucks County means that the harvest will reflect the seasons. The first few spring harvests will be light and consist primarily of cool-weather crops. Summer harvests should be substantial, bringing juicy warm-weather fruits and vegetables. We hope the fall will be marked by a great abundance and diversity of crops.

In a typical season you can expect to receive more than the projected amounts of some crops and less than the projected amounts of others as a result of weather and other factors.

Throughout everything we do, we will remain dedicated to quality and the concept of the farm as a living organism.

Membership

For 2009, we plan to keep the size of the CSA small for one more year to continue to improve the soil fertility and gain a better understanding of the rhythms of the local growing season.

Enrollment for the 2010 Season will begin November 1, 2009.

Please check back then, or email us to have your name added to the waiting list.
