NATIVE FARM FLOWERS

What is a CSA? Community Supported Agriculture is a combined effort between a farming operation and a community of supporters (subscribers) that creates a direct relationship between the farmer and consumer.

The CSA model is an economically viable way for small-scale farmers to produce small amounts of a wide variety of crops. CSAs foster relationships between the grower, the consumer, the crop and the land on which it is grown.

Native Farm Flowers is now offering CSA shares of flowers to homes and businesses on a weekly basis from May 14th thru September 12th (or frost). You will have the option of receiving an arrangement in a glass vase or a bucket of fresh blooms to arrange at home yourself. The cost savings is more than 15 to 20% off our retailed prices and you will receive the best pick of the week. Each week, you exchange the empty vase or bucket for a fresh one full of beautiful, specialty cut flowers. Pickup locations will be at the farm on Wing Road in Greenfield, 150 East Avenue in Saratoga or at the Saratoga Farmers Market. Delivery can also be arranged for local businesses.

To join, print out the 2011 CSA Subscription Form choose your program, starting date, pickup location and mail payment and form to the address below. I will contact you with a confirmation and map(s) for pickup.

Arrangements

Arrangements are in glass vases that are prearranged by us with an artful mix of the weeks

best flowers. You simply return last week’s vase or basket, along with the holder, and then

take home a new arrangement for the week.

Grower’s Bucket

Grower’s buckets are freshly picked flowers that you arrange in your vase(s) at home.

Each bucket will have mixed flowers, herbs, greens and will generously fill a large container.
