I'm writing to tell you about an opportunity to purchase fresh produce that
will be delivered to Augsburg College in the form of a CSA share beginning
mid-June. The share will contain a variety seasonally appropriate produce.
One can expect to find treats such as basil, carrots, cilantro, sweet corn,
potatoes, peppers and tomatoes at some point over the summer. Delivery begins
mid-June and lasts for 18 weeks or through mid-October. The food is grown on a
140 acre farm near Plato, MN. Purchasing local produce helps to support the
local economy. Buying local food is also a great way to reduce one's carbon
footprint. The farmers who grow this produce are devoted to using only natural
botanical and biological methods to control pests. They use other sustainable
farming practices such as biodiversity, crop rotation, cover cropping and
natural fertilizers to deliver healthy and nutritious produce to the table.
More information about the operation and where to order can be found at
