Elysian Fields Farm Community Supported Agriculture in the Triangle Area! From the website: "Elysian Farm is a community-supported agriculture (CSA) farm. A CSA program markets its produce, fruits, herbs and flowers directly to the local community, while allowing for the community to directly support a local farm. Members purchase a share from the farm prior to the growing season. The farm then supplies the families or individuals with fresh seasonably grown produce once a week, each week, for the length of the growing season. The weekly distribution consists of a wide variety of crops, which varies depending on what is in season as well as individual crop success. Elysian Fields Farm is entering its fifth year of production in northern Orange County. The farm is individually run with the aid of seasonal interns and local labor. All produce is grown using only natural and sustainable methods. Members are encouraged to visit the farm and walk amongst its vast acreage, wooded and open alike, with pond and wildlife. Also, stop by the Carrboro farmers' market to visit the farm's stand this season and say hello!"
