Community Supported Agriculture is an agreement between the annual shareholders of the CSA and the farm to maintain a relationship for mutual benefit and support. This is our seventh year of Alderlea CSA. Last year on a weekly basis, we provided fresh and nutritious vegetables to over one hundred and thirty families in the Cowichan Valley. In return these families provided their financial support. Being a shareholder establishes a mutual and supportive relationship between the farmer and  consumer. It establishes a responsible relationship with the land. There is a direct link between the consumption and the production of food. This year we will continue to farm at Keating Farm, and we will increase our shareholder capacity. This is your opportunity to support local, Biodynamic food production and renew your commitment or sign up as a shareholder. Many thanks for your interest in Community Supported Agriculture. CSA is local, sustainable, certified biodynamic/organic agriculture, and it supplies nutritious, delicious veggies to the Cowichan Valley and beyond. Alderlea Farm has the capacity for 200 shareholders in the 2010 season. This is made possible because Farmer John will put four more acres into vegetable production, and the new distribution barn at Alderlea will provide a larger more efficient food distribution site for vegetables and other local products.
