CSA Program

Why a CSa is right for you


Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs are a win-win for farmers and community members. By joining our CSA, you’re not just subscribing to a weekly box of fresh produce—you’re contributing to a healthy, resilient and connected local food system.

1. Directly Supporting Regenerative Farms and farmers

When you join our CSA, you’re providing our farm with direct support at the start of the growing season. Unlike buying from a grocery store, your CSA membership dollars go directly to support the farm and the people who are growing your food. This direct relationship helps farms like ours thrive in a competitive agricultural market and maintain only the best practices in growing your food.

2. Sharing in the Risks and Rewards of Farming

Farming is unpredictable—weather, pests, and other challenges can impact crop yields. By joining a CSA, you share both the risks and rewards of the harvest with your farmers. In a good season, you might get an abundance of your favorite vegetables; in a tougher season, you’ll still receive fresh produce but might see different varieties based on what grew best. This shared responsibility fosters a deeper connection between the farm and its members, creating a sense of solidarity and mutual support.

3. Fresh, Seasonal, and Local Produce

As a CSA member you receive produce that is harvested at peak freshness, often just hours or days before it reaches your hands. This means you’re getting the freshest possible food, packed with nutrients and flavor. Additionally, you get to eat local and seasonal, in South Florida this means our main growing season is in the winter and we grow many unique things to our region such as Yucca, String Beans and Turmeric . This seasonal eating rhythm can bring a sense of balance and mindfulness to your diet, and a deep connection to your region. This not only benefits your health but also reduces the environmental impact of long-distance food transportation.

4. Building Community and Relationships

In joining our CSA you become part of our community. We invite you to join us for events, workshops, volunteer days, and farm tours where members can meet each other and the farmers. These gatherings are a chance to share recipes, learn about sustainable agriculture, and make new friends who value local food as much as you do. By participating in these events, you’re helping to build a stronger, more resilient community.

Our free ranging hens live in our pine forest. We raise the chicks and give them clean food and supplements like oregano, pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, diatomaceous earth, and garlic to keep them thriving. The chickens also receive food scraps from Centner Academy School and Fertile Earth Worm Farm. The chickens are free to find bugs, weeds and grasses to eat in the forest.

Most conventional egg operations give their hens GMO feed with corn and soy that increase the Omega 6 fatty acids in most eggs. At R8 we feed them GMO free feed that does not include corn or soy.
