Farm Practices

Covenant Springs Farm operates as a diversified family farm committed to beyond-organic standards. They raise chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, vegetables, and fruit using farming practices that prioritize ecological improvement over degradation. The farm participates in community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs and offers group buys for local customers, emphasizing direct farm-to-consumer connections.

CSA Program

The farm’s CSA program provides weekly veggie baskets to members, with options for regular or full-year subscriptions. Members receive produce, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, and fruit, with prices and discounts outlined on the farm’s website. CSA shares are purchased at the start of the season, and members receive weekly baskets throughout the growing period. The program includes benefits like recipes, discounts, and free family farm days for members.

Products and Offerings

In addition to CSA shares, the farm sells a variety of products through its online store, including herbs, garlic, and plants. Items such as garlic braids, saffron, and comfrey root cuttings are available for local pickup only. The farm also hosts seasonal group buys for items like peonies and daffodils, allowing the community to access wholesale prices.

Community Engagement

Covenant Springs Farm engages with its community through CSA memberships, group buy events, and educational resources. They emphasize transparency in their practices and encourage direct communication via email or Facebook Messenger. The farm’s policies outline terms for CSA memberships, including no refunds for missed pickups and the option to arrange for a friend or family member to collect baskets when away.

Visiting and Buying

All purchases require local pickup, as the farm does not offer shipping. Customers can access products through the farm’s website, participate in CSA programs, or join group buys. The farm’s website provides detailed information on membership agreements, terms of service, and seasonal product availability.
