Community Supported Agriculture CSA gives city dwellers the opportunity to form a direct personal relationship with a local farm. CSA members sign up and pay before the season begins, making a commitment to cover the costs of operating the farm. In return, during the growing season, members receive a weekly basket of farm-fresh produce! Fresh, Local, Chemical-Free Produce! Eco-Gardens is a small family farm in Southern KY, about an hour north of Nashville, owned by Andrew and Reuben Habegger. Our farming roots run deep as we can trace our farming heritage to a homestead in Canton Bern, Switzerland, owned by a Habegger in 1540 and, the last we heard, still owned and operated by a Habegger. Using only horsepower to till the soil, we have worked the current family homestead for 32 years. We practice sustainable living and sustainable farming. But above and beyond sustainability, we employ organic growing practices, both tried and true and also the newest innovations in organic gardening. Our first fields were certified organic in 2006. To keep paperwork to a minimum, we currently are not certifying our fields but continue to abide by organic standards and apply methods we learn that exceed organic standards. Of course, all your veggies will be grown free of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, etc.! And we never grow genetically modified vegetables. We use organic potting soil. As per certified organic guidelines, organic seeds are used when commercially available and untreated seeds whenever organic seeds are unavailable, no GMO seeds. We believe healthy food comes from healthy soil, and eating healthy food makes healthy people. We are always working to boost the quality of our soil and thereby boost the nutrient content of your food. We discuss our farming methods in weekly newsletters and welcome questions from CSA members. *Winter* CSA: *Begins Tuesday, November 24 (Tuesday before Thanksgiving) *Weekly Half-Bushel boxes *Tuesday afternoons *Skipping the week between Christmas and New Years *12 Week Season guarantee Sweet winter Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, variety of Lettuces, Butternut Squash, Kales and Spinaches Also canned goodies from our summer bounty and lacto-fermented vegetables Contact: Lisa & Gregory Cochran 331-0104 [email protected] eco-gardenscsa.weebly.com *Let it Snow*Let it Snow*Let it Snow* 2014-15 Eco-Gardens *Winter* CSA To Sign-Up: 1.
