Community Supported Agriculture

Ecopolitan's June 2006 Eco-Business of the month is Blackberry Hills Farm - a great source for organic fresh produce during our summer months. We recommend for everyone to become members of this (or other) CSA Farms (Community-Supported Agriculture), to support local growers who are more ecological in their farming practices, reduce the toll of long-distance transportation on our environment, and get truly fresh produce - often within less than 24 hours of harvest- retaining more nutrients, avoiding the problems of storage, and tasting much better!.

CSA FARM PICK-UP NOW AT ECOPOLITAN

Would you like to receive a weekly box of fresh organic produce from a Wisconsin family farm? We still have 3 shares available and we have added Ecopolitan as a pick-up site on Fridays (5-10 p.m.)

Members receive a 5/9 bushel box of fresh organic produce for 16 weeks ( June 16 to September 29). Cost is $450.

Blackberry Hills Farm (1989) is located 20 miles northeast of Menomonie, Wisconsin. Our 30-acre farm consists of a fruit orchard; flower, herb and vegetable gardens; berry patches; beautiful rolling hills; and woods with abundant wildlife (kept out of our garden with an electric fence). \n
