Santa Fe CSA Sale.

Bodhi Farms is hold a spring CSA Sale! What’s a CSA? Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of “shares” to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a “membership” or a “subscription”) and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.

This arrangement creates several rewards for both the farmer and the consumer.

Advantages for farmers:

Get to spend time marketing the food early in the year, before their 16 hour days in the field begin
Receive payment early in the season, which helps with the farm’s cash flow
Have an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow

Advantages for consumers:

Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits
Get exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking
Usually get to visit the farm at least once a season
Find that kids typically favor food from “their” farm – even veggies they’ve never been known to eat
Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown
Our CSA runs from May 24th to November 28th! That’s 26 distributions of fresh vegetables. We offer one of the longest running CSAs in New Mexico and it’s on sale. Our CSA customers get the pick of the vegetables from the farm. We have only 20 CSA shares this year, so get your CSA membership while they are still available. The sale applies to both the standard CSA and the abbreviated CSA.
