We are so excited to be able to continue our CSA by working with our wonderful farm partner, Love is Love Cooperative Farm.

What is a CSA

CSA – Community Supported Agriculture - is a member model whereby local farmers and local eaters make a dedicated commitment to one another through a shared-risk model and active engagement. Members support the whole farm through subscribing to seasonal shares. Some or all of this payment is upfront, much like a farm’s costs of production. Membership provides better planning for the farms, maximizi1ng potential and minimizing risk and waste. The farmers work hard to provide the best, freshest, seasonal variety of produce each week and commit to building a deeper relationship with their members. Together every week, we elevate and enjoy healthy food, resilient community, and successful, viable farm systems while caring for the planet.  In addition to offering our primary CSA share of vegetables, we offer a variety of add-on shares for those looking to source milk, eggs, meat and other items from local farms.

Our Partners from Love is Love Cooperative Farms

The Martin family (owners of Martin’s Garden) have known the Love is Love principal farmers for nearly a decade now.  During our early beginnings when we initially bought our land and were trying to figure “this whole farming thing” out, we attended our first Georgia Organics conference and met the humble and legendary Joe Reynolds, who was both the board chair and the preeminent organic CSA farmer in the Atlanta area.  In 2021, Joe and his team spread the love to include other farmers and purchased more acreage (70 acres) in Mansfield , Georgia.   We have an incredible amount of respect for Love is Love Cooperative, the quality of their vegetables and the heart and soul they bring each and every day to the world of agriculture and those they feed and care for.

What Can I Expect with the csa

Love is Love Cooperative Farm grows a wide range of delicious produce each week for our members. Now in their 18th year of CSA farming, Love is Love Co-op Farm excels at growing with organic practices to deliver incredibly delicious vegetables that are picked at the peak of freshness and harvested within days of your pick-up. Each week for a 12 week period from May 5th through July 21st, your CSA share will include approximately 7 items. At the bottom of this section you will see items that are typically provided in shares based upon the season.
