Bracco Farms Field

Once again, Bracco Farms will be offering its popular CSA Program this season. The basic idea of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is that a farmer grows for a group of members who have purchased “shares” in the harvest. Members pay at the beginning of the season, when the farmer most needs the money. When the crops start coming in June, the farmer delivers a weekly (or bi-weekly as is the case with Bracco Farms) assortment of vegetables, herbs and some fruit. This is not a co-op, there are no wholesalers or distributors. All of your food dollars – 100% – goes to the person who is growing it.

I joined the Bracco CSA in 2014 and loved it on so many levels:

1. Healthy products I know are good for me.
2. Variety of products that pushed me to try new recipes and new preparations.
3. Surprises in my box every time I picked up – new things as the seasoned progressed.
4. Restaurant-cool things like edible flowers and micro greens.

New this year – customers have their choice of seven pick-up locations in northern New Jersey and also directly from the farm in Pine Island, NY. 

A few facts about the Bracco Farms CSA Program:

• Bracco Farms only sells what it grows.
• Bracco Farms only uses Non-GMO seed from safe-seed pledge sources.
• Bracco Farms never uses herbicides (weed killer) or pesticides.
• Bracco Farms does not use any type of fungicide, insecticide or any other type of chemical.
• Bracco Farms does not use any type of fertilizer, nor any type of artificial irrigation, nor any type of tomato hormone.
• Bracco Farms hand-cultivates its wonderful weeds!
• Bracco Farms never supplements its CSA with outside produce.

You support sustainable local agriculture and get freshly-picked organic produce at reasonable prices. In addition, you know the farmer growing your vegetables and can visit the farm (I highly recommend doing this) -establishing a personal connection with your food supply.
