Dear CSA Members,

Greetings from the HAFA Farm! The farm has been resting this winter, but farmers and staff have been busy with trainings. Farm Planning, Soil Health, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Post-harvest Handling and Break-even Analysis are just a few of the many training topics covered so far. With less than a month before the farm opens up, staffers are also conducting one-on-one meetings with farmers to finalize farm and crop plans for a successful growing year.

Spring is right around the corner, so don’t forget to sign up for your 2018 HAFA CSA! By signing up for a CSA, you are helping farmers get a jump start on the growing season. Not only are you committing to eating fresh produce, you are investing in local farmers and your community.

Stop by one of our meet and greets to learn more about HAFA and the CSA. We hope you can join us!
