We at Aquila Acres would like to introduce to
you our Community Supported Agricultural Farm. We offer a wide variety
of vegetables, turkey, chicken, and goat all grown according to organic
standards. A CSA (community supported agriculture) consists of a
community of members who pledge support to a family farm operation. It
is an innovative and resourceful strategy to connect local farmers with
consumers. By becoming a member, (otherwise known as a 'share holder')
in a CSA farm you develop a regional food supply that promotes a strong
local economy. To become a share holder, the consumer purchases a share
of the season's harvest. The money that is paid in advance covers the
farms yearly operating budget which includes the purchase of seeds,
equipment, labor, etc. By partnering together with the farmer, the
consumer shares in the responsibilities, and benefits of having a family
farm. In return, the farmer provides (to the best of their ability) 16 -
20 weeks of all natural, fresh, chemical free vegetables. Members also
share in the risks of farming, including poor harvests due to
unfavorable weather or pests. Our members are always welcome and are
encouraged to come down to the farm. Our share holder's experience a
sense of self satisfaction that is gained by having a responsible
relationship with us (the farmer), the food they eat and the land that
it is grown on. We deliver on a weekly basis to various south eastern
Michigan locations. Overnight, out of state deliveries can be arranged.
