5 COMPELLING REASONS TO JOIN OUR CSA

01/08/21 — Ada Broussard

It’s the new year, and if you’re like us, you’re feeling energized and excited about the possibilities for something fresh, new, and different this year. We might be biased… okay, yes, we’re definitely biased, but we think incorporating some local and seasonal veggies into your cooking routine is an incredible way to welcome in 2021. This past year put our farm and our farm family to the test (LINK), but we were able to meet the demands the pandemic posed to our business with creativity and perseverance, and our farm family feels stronger than ever heading into this new year. If you’ve never experienced the comfort and warm-fuzzies that come along with buying your veggies from a farm and source you actually know, now is the time to give it a try! Welcome to the family! 

Five Reasons to Join our CSA in 2021:

1. FREE VEG: 

If you join during the month of January, we’ll give you a free box. We repeat -  free organic vegetables from your local farm! It’s an offer we only make once a year, so don’t procrastinate. Enter FAMILY at checkout and you’ll notice that an additional box has been added to your order. Shoot us an email with any questions - farm@jbgorganic.com.

2. VARIETY. COLOR. VEGETABLES.

When you join the CSA, you align yourself with the Texas seasons and the diverse array of vegetables we can grow here like sweet and spicy radishes and alien-like kohlrabi. Eating these new-to-you veggies will expand your culinary prowess and connect you to the ways temperature, rain, and sunshine dictate the crops we can grow and the food you will enjoy. 

3. FRESHNESS

Vegetables you buy from the grocery store, or really from anywhere other than directly from a farmer, have to travel a good bit before they reach your kitchen. Most large grocery stores order huge pallets of vegetables, often from far-away-farms, that have to be trucked across the country (or from another country) to a regional warehouse. From there, individual grocery stores can place an order with their warehouse, and the product is again loaded on a truck, often traveling hundreds or thousands of miles to a grocery store cooler. Eventually, it gets put on a shelf, days, weeks, and sometimes months after the produce was harvested. When you join our CSA, your veggies make one trip: from our farm to your home. They skip all that transit which can reduce the quality and nutritive quality of vegetables. Vegetables from our farm arrive in your kitchen fresher, tastier, and devoid of a heavy carbon price tag.

4. OPTIONS

Our CSA is full of options to make sure it can work with your cooking habits and family’s needs. Need a teeny-tiny box? That would be our individual size. Cooking for a crew? Get our large box. You can get your CSA share delivered every week, every other, or even on a more random schedule if you’d like. Login to your account and delay a delivery yourself, or just shoot us an email and we’ll take care of it. Lastly, we’re very proud to offer a customization feature with our CSA Program. With each delivery, you can swap out two veggies you don’t want for ones you’d prefer. 

5. WARM-FUZZIES

When you join our CSA, you are essentially becoming a part of our beautiful farm family which includes our staff in the fields, planting and harvesting produce, our staff who carefully sorts and washes the veggies, our team of delivery drivers, our farmers’ market employees, as well as all of our customers who live in corners of Cental Texas like Plano, Georgetown, New Braunfels, and South Manchaca. We’ve been farming and partnering with our community since 2004, and these days it feels like our farm is truly its “best self”. We hope you’ll join the fam in 2021. We can’t wait to grow some veg for you! 

 

Some of our CSA Members enjoy a farm tour... back when we hosted farm tours! Fingers crossed we can make one happen this year.
