Overview
The mission of "Tierra A Mesa CSA" is to provide access to fresh, chemical-free and pesticide-free foods that are locally grown and economical. Being a member of this food cooperative allow members to buy directly from farmers and their family.
You will get a basket of fresh food every week until winter-time enough for 2-4 people or 1 vegetarian who eats a lot of vegetables. You will have the opportunity to get to know each other, create community through events and have activities such as a day in the country to visit the farm to see where the food comes from and attend workshops on cooking and health.
You can use SNAP/Food Stamps.
