| Sweetwater's owners, John and Lynn |
We at Sweetwater Farm and Nursery are proud to offer our CSA with a difference, Good Food Easy.
We looked at the current models of CSA's (farm subscription programs)and found the most often
heard complaints are:
- It is a big committment in money and length of subscription
- There is too much food for a small household
- What do you do with 3 lb. of lettuce at one time?
- The CSA isn't there when you need it most, winter and spring
We can avoid these problems because of some unique strengths at Sweetwater Farm:
- John (the tall one) has been farming organically since 1979, providing fresh herbs and nutrient dense
vegetables year round to the finer local restaurants
- Sweetwater Farm has 26,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse space to extend the growing season. We harvested romaine
lettuce, tatsoi, and broccoli raab the last week of February.
- We buy produce from other local organic growers to suppliment our harvest so there is always a
good variety of fruit and vegetables in the food shares, plus other local small farms benefit.
- Lynn (the short one) was a VISTA volunteer and helped set up Organically Grown Co. in Eugene in the
early 80's. Thru it and other organic growers, we buy organic fruit and vegetables
local and from further afield to provide interesting produce boxes on a year round basis.
We have 3 sizes of subscription, and you only need to commit to Good Food Easy a month at a time.
When you join Good Food Easy you are supporting the best of local agriculture - Sweetwater, many other
local small organic farms, and locally owned organic produce distributors.
