In addition to our lively CSA we also sell at the Canton Farmers Market, the Potsdam Food Coop, Natures Storehouse and Nori’s in Saranac Lake. Birdsfoot Farm is an intentional community and neighbors of eight adults and two children.

What is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)?
CSA is a commitment from the grower to provide in-season vegetables to the members. Members pay the farmer up front, or in an installment plan, and pick up vegetables weekly. (We do accept food stamps.) The benefit to the farmer is a guaranteed market and a personal connection to the members. In return, the member receives the freshest, local, in-season, certified organic vegetables and herbs, our bi-weekly popular newsletter and a relationship with the farmer. If there is a shortage of a crop, other crops of the same value may be substituted. If there is an overflow, members might get extra. There may also be larger quantities for freezing and canning at wholesale prices.
“Farmer Support price” will help to give $1/hr. extra to the farmer.

A personal note: For me, farming is a passion. Sometimes it is repetitious and tiresome but there is always something new to learn and I feel in harmony with the soil and plants. Farming is a way of living. Farming grows good food for people and is a service to the greater community, as well as a source of income that provides opportunities for generations to come. –Dulli
