When you join a Community Supported Agriculture farm, you pay in advance for a season’s worth of produce. You get the benefits of tasting your place, knowing your farmer, and the eating the freshest and healthiest produce you can buy.
At Plainsong Farm your share also supports the conservation of soil (through our sustainable growing methods), the development of a healthier charitable food system (through our donated shares and advocacy work) and future educational opportunities (our long-term goal!)
At Plainsong Farm, you have choices. In addition to buying food for yourself, you can also choose to provide for those in need (through our Sow it Forward program).
SOW IT FORWARD
We are proud to have introduced the “Sow it Forward” CSA model to west Michigan in 2016 and even prouder to be continuing it in our 2017 growing season. This option provides the same fresh produce to a food pantry as the shareholder receives.
You can make a donation in any amount toward this ministry, helping to provide healthy and local food to those in need throughout our community. Or – as members have done since 2016 – you can donate the same amount of food to others as you receive by purchasing a full “Sow it Forward” share.
To provide healthy food to those in need, please make a gift on our Donate page.
