Every new year we run a promotion to try to encourage all you folks to start the year off on a healthy foot. Join our CSA, and you'll find yourself cooking more, eating healthier, and feeling better. We really are dedicated to helping you achieve your new year’s resolutions this year. Your taste buds, pocketbooks, belt buckle, and family will all be thanking you. If you join between now and January 31st and enter veggieheaven at checkout, YOU'LL GET A FREE BOX OF VEGETABLE GOODNESS. This is not a joke. Real, free, organic vegetables, for you!



If a free box isn’t enough to entice you, here are 5 reasons joining the CSA will be the best decision you make all year.

1. SUPPORT LOCAL

By joining our CSA, you are supporting a locally owned and operated business. Unique local businesses are part of what makes Austin and Texas so special! Buying local helps our economy as well as supply jobs and support the livelihood of fellow Austinites. When you support our farm, you are supporting the people that toil ceaselessly week after week to plant, harvest, clean, pack, and deliver your veggies.

2. Good for your health

Farm-fresh vegetables are jam-packed with vitamins and minerals that are essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Two and a half cups a day says the FDA? Ain’t no thang with a CSA headed your way.

Even if you have less vegetable-centric dishes planned for the week, our CSA can augment your regular weekly shopping list, ensuring that you have at least some of that scrumptious local, nutrient-dense produce peppered on your plate! A little goes a long way!

3. Freshest-possible veggies

Cultivated in East Austin and harvested no more than a day or two before reaching your doorstep, these vegetables are at peak nutrition and flavor. Getting a CSA share with JBG means you know exactly where your food is coming from and how it's grown. GMO? Heck no! Come out for a volunteer day, see your crops in the field, and ask your farmers about it!

4. Know your seasons

Eating locally connects you to the seasons, to the land, and to your own health and wellness. Cucumbers will cool you down in the summer, while braised collards will warm you up when the temperatures start to drop. Enjoy the best pico de gallo of your life during the short window when cilantro, onions, peppers, and tomatoes all overlap, and we promise you'll never go back to the store-bought stuff again. You'll get acclimated with the seasons on a whole new level, and learn about what naturally grows when and why.

5. Try new foods

With farmers who are constantly chompin’ at the bit to try a new crop, who knows what will show up in your CSA box. From the array of Asian greens to the broad pepper spectrum, keep your mind wide open to a whole new world of vegetables you never even knew existed. Plus, you can experiment in the kitchen and broaden your culinary horizons!
