Incubator Farmers offer CSA opportunities

Kilgore Family Farm at Horn Farm Center Incubator Farm Project

One of the best ways to support your local farmers and ensure a reliable source of fresh produce for the season is to become a CSA member. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. In the CSA model, members of the community pledge support to a farm, with the grower and consumers sharing the risks and benefits of food production.

Green Moon Farm is a participant in Horn Farm Centers Incubator Farm Project

At the Horn Farm Center, all three participants in our Incubator Farm Project, Green Moon Farm, Kilgore Family Farm, and Sterling Farm, are offering CSA options this season.
