FAQ’s
Why is Thornapple CSA forming?
We want to bring great local produce to members, use currently fallow certified organic farmland located 15 miles from Lansing; provide work and experience to farmers; help build Lansing’s local food system; and build the relationship of eaters to the food they eat.
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
CSAs bring together the people who grow food with the people who consume it. Members of a CSA purchase a “share” in the farm’s harvest and receive a variety of freshly harvested produce each week during the growing season. Members also contribute their time to the farm, elevating their understanding of how food grows and makes its way to their tables. In the CSA model, growers and consumers support one another and share the benefits and the risks of farming and food production.
