CSA Pilot Farms are Tilled, Planted and Growing
This is reprinted from the August Crestview NA newsletter.
Imagine getting fresh, locally grown veggies and eggs delivered to your door each week for less than grocery store prices. Now that we have launched the first nonprofit urban farm right here in Crestview, this is a reality.
Urban Patchwork is Austin’s first nonprofit CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Our goal is to make local, natural food available and accessible for all of Austin and join the growing movement toward more sustainable living. Produce can now be planted, harvested and delivered all within the neighborhood. Visiting with the farmer and seeing the process is as easy as walking down the street.
The way it works is our farmers cultivate plots of land scattered across different properties in Crestview. Then we deliver weekly baskets of seasonal fresh produce and eggs to our members. We are committed to using ecologically sustainable methods without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers to control pests and diseases. We plant heirloom varieties which have been selected over generations for flavor and nutritional value.
Help us create a better tomorrow through better food. A limited number of pilot program memberships are currently available. Visit our membership page or email me directly at paige@urbanpatchwork.org.
My husband and I live two houses outside of the 78757 Crestview neighborhood, but own rental property on Cullen Avenue in Crestview. The small Cullen house has a large, although shady, backyard. Contact me if CSA would like to consider using some of the space for planting.
