2015 Availability List

~Always Heirloom~
~Always Organic~

Community Supported Agriculture - The benefits of participating in a CSA are many. As a member you will not only enjoy all of the food but you will also know exactly where your food is grown and who grows it. All of our heirloom produce is organically grown - no pesticides - no herbicides. 


As a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Share Member, you are part of our farm family.  You help pay for seeds, water, gas for the rototillers and so much more.  Our personal commitment to you:   Have the peace of mind to know you are eating fresh local organically grown produce, no genetic modifications, no genetic engineering. 

You’ll receive extras, above and beyond your share purchased.   Each week you’ll find something to try that you didn’t know about, maybe some fresh made organic mustard or a jar of preserves we harvested and made just for you.  Each Full Vegetable Share Membership will receive a loaf of bread, whole wheat or if you prefer, winter white (your choice) and each Half Vegetable Share Membership will receive a loaf of bread every two weeks.  (Bread opt-out is an option, detailed below)

Start off the year right by jumping into a share full of seasonal, organic heirloom vegetables like salad lettuces, stir-fry lettuces, greens, kale, sprouts (i.e., sunflower, broccoli, bean, etc.), whole grain breads, cut flowers, herbs, and more. Each week you’ll enjoy what’s in season, all grown on our farm in Crawfordville, Florida.   

We are small enough to provide that personal touch.  If you do not like bell peppers (or peppers in general) let us know and we’ll work with you to replace it with something else.  You are welcome to opt out of the items you do not like or eat.  Do you not like collard greens?  Let us know!  

A Full Share is designed to feed a vegetarian family of 1-2 each week. 

A Half Share is designed to feed a non-vegetarian family of 1-2 each week.

Add an additional $8 per week for specialty/sweet breads to include, for example, a slice or two of our fan favorite Blackberry Banana Bread, Cranberry Orange Bread, Zucchini Bread, Whole Wheat Crackers, Chocolate Chip Cookie(s) and/or some fresh made bagels, doughnuts, etc. 

Egg Shares will be an option in February/March and are a great Add-On.  At $4 per dozen chicken eggs; $6 per dozen duck eggs (duck eggs are not available year-around).  You are welcome to sign up for Full Egg Share (weekly) or Half Egg Share (bi-weekly) to meet your family needs.  Half Egg Shares are not on the availability list but do inquire!  Our free-range chickens and ducks are fed strictly Certified Natural Feed which contains no hormones, no antibiotics, no meat, and no feathers.  They also happily scratch and peck the garden weeds, assisting us with garden pest control. 

Add-Ons can be purchased separately; you are welcome to purchase only breads and/or eggs.  Let us know if you want only loaf bread of wheat, white, etc. - $6 per week share.  Likewise, if you want a Full or Half Share with no bread, the cost is $24 per week for Full Share and $12 per week for Half Share.

We’re sure you’ll love the varieties of vegetables, fruit, dehydrated snacks, condiments, baked items, preserves, herbs and flowers our Little Eden Heirloom Farm has to offer.  

We are year-around growers.  As you look at the availability list you’ll see we pack in more than a full day’s work, doing what we love - lessening the environment of its GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and overabundance of pesticides and teaching others about these issues.  Throughout the year you will receive beans, beets, cabbage, blackberries and/or other fruit, broccoli, chard, cucumbers, lettuces, potatoes, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, various herbs and the list goes on and on.  Each week we’ll share with you what the Lord has given us to harvest from our gardens. 
CSA members also get priority in ordering "a la carte" items added to your bag/box.  Many of these items are limited in quantity and only last a few short weeks or days. As we send out our weekly “Harvesting and Happenings Newsletter” send us an email and let us know what you would like and if you’ll be paying for it at Market pick-up, or if you would like an invoice sent to you for pre-payment with a credit card (credit card transactions are also available at the Market).  

We’re a small farm, subscriptions are limited so don’t delay.  As you may know, some vegetables take four months or longer to produce so we need to make sure we have space to grow your favorite things.  If you don’t want to start your subscription until May, for example, we encourage you to sign up and pay now.  Contact us today at littleedenheirloomfarm@zoho.com, or give us a call at 850-274-7690.  See page 2 of our 2015 CSA Subscription Options for a few things we need to get your subscription started.  

What’s in your bag/box for CSA pick-up?

Monday, February 2, 2015, officially starts our 2015 CSA Share Member Subscription Service.  Share Members will receive the following to include but not limited to 
Greens – Turnip, Mustard and/or Collard
Kale and/or Swiss Chard
Salad Lettuces (2-4 varieties)
Stir-fry Greens
Sprouts – Bean, Broccoli, Sunflower
Orientals – Pak Choy/Bok Choy
Bread – Stone Ground Whole Wheat with Sunflower, Flax and Sesame Seeds (Wheat without seeds or Winter White Bread by request) (opt-out option)

Each week you’ll also find gifts of sweet breads/snacks, bagel(s), biscuit(s), condiments, spreads, herbs, and/or flowers, and more.  

By purchasing locally grown produce directly from the farmer, you are guaranteed to have the freshest, most nutrient rich fruits and vegetables possible. 

Thank you so much for considering being a part of our farm family.
