There’s growing awareness of the toxins in sprays used on crops, increasing evidence of the harmful effects of GMOs, and now critics are alarmed about Ontario’s 'loosening of the rules around spreading sewage sludge -- potentially laced with pharmaceuticals like Viagra -- on Ontario farm fields'. People are concerned about potential health risks.
Increasingly, people are searching for ‘clean’ local food. One of the best ways is to get acquainted with local farmers and their growing practices, choose one whose methods you like, and partner with them in a Community Shared Agriculture program.
Community Shared Agriculture Program -What Is It?
Community Shared Agriculture programs are traditionally arranged by making an up-front investment for the full season in an amount determined by the farmer. This ‘Food Box’ program ensures your weekly share of fresh produce throughout the growing season. The partner-owners of Greenshire Eco Farms are “Thinking Outside the Box” in offering a unique type of CSA that pleases the palate, the pocketbook and offers more choices. The ‘surprise’ a more traditional type of CSA program, is also available.
