What's a Flower CSA?
|
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farm-business model where folks invest in a farm early in the season, when we farmers have a lot of expenses in seeds, compost, tools, etc. That's an investment in the farm, your farmers, your local communities, and local commerce, it says you're willing to stand with us as we do our best by you, our lands, our water supply, and our future generations. And in return for your faith in us, we share the best of our harvests with you.

Flower CSAs are perfect as gifts, for individuals, families, restaurants, and other small businesses!
A note about organically grown flowers:
In this world where most flowers you can buy at a grocery store, especially out of season, carry a desperately heavy burden on their delicate stems in crazy carbon footprints (did you know most flowers are grown in tropical places, and flown to Amsterdam to the flower markets before your local grocery chain buys them and ships them to your store?), and toxic (often unregulated) pesticide and herbicide use with multifold health ramifications for buyers as well as (often under-compensated) field workers. Local, organically grown flowers carry none of that burden, and often are much higher quality just by the virtue of being fresh and not having been shipped so long and far, and often last much longer in the vase. Also, many gorgeous flowers just don’t ship well, and therefor, have fallen out of popularity from florists and flower designers that rely on big wholesalers who don’t work with local farms. So often, local growers will have rarer, higher-quality, longer-lasting, non-toxic flowers that put your dollars right back into your community!

"Dancing the Land Farm created beautiful bouquets each week, loads of colors and fun flowers, much more unique and creative than what you could buy in a store, for a great price. We felt the value far exceeded the cost."
~Erin Trisko, happy CSA member "So fun to pick up a fresh bundle of flowers each week, they were artfully arranged and lasted often past the next week's bundle" ~Happy CSA Member

"This flower CSA was a gift, and we thought it was one of the best! It was the gift that kept on giving all summer long." ~Happy CSA Member
Having a beautiful bouquet every week meant we got to learn about new flowers, the bouquets were big enough we sometimes divided them up into a couple to fill the rooms of our house, or to place in the guest room. Sometimes we even used the bouquet as the perfect gift for a friend or event.
