Colvin Family Farm
Colvin Family Farm is a small, family owned and operated farm. We raise more than 50 different Certified Naturally Grown varieties of vegetables, herbs and fruits.We strive to raise the best looking, best tasting--finest overall quality vegetables, using natural & sustainable farming practices.Our goal is to help sustain the health of our customers, ourselves, and our farm.Since 2003 we have sold our vegetables through CSA shares, by supplying restaurants, grocery stores, farm stands, and by direct marketing at farmers' markets. We have learned that the most enjoyable and fulfilling marketing approach is by sharing our farm directly with consumers through the Community Supported Agriculture approach.

Benefits for You:
- You commit to eating healthier! Fresh, naturally grown produce will become a regular and important part of every week!
- You commit to supporting a local, small, family operated farm--keeping food dollars in the local economy!
- You make a direct connection with our farm--sharing the risks and advantages of our farms' production!
- You receive high-quality, reasonably priced, naturally raised produce each week--with recipes on how to use them!
- You will receive our newsletter full of pictures updating you on what is going on at the farm, and what to expect in your share box!
- You will get to meet our farm on our two fun-filled CSA shareholder days! Tours, fun games, recipe swapping and getting to know our farm, family and fellow shareholders.

Benefits for the Farmers (us):
- We get to personal friendship with our customers--beyond wholesaling, and even direct marketing!
- We don't have to spend as much time or money marketing our produce (and wonder what to do with what doesn't sell!). This lets us spend more time farming than marketing, meaning we can raise better produce!
- We have a guaranteed income (well, "more" guaranteed)--it takes a lot of the stress out of farming.
