Erie Fresh CSA Now Taking Orders for 2010 Season

ERIE COUNTY, OH – As the seasons endure, the warm weather brings the promise of fresh local food! Entering their second year in operation, Erie County Coalition for Local Resources (ECCLR) will again be operating the Erie Fresh multi-grower community supported agriculture program for the 2010 season. Join today and receive 22 weeks worth of locally-produced food from our farmers starting the first week of June and ending the last week of October. Download our brochure as a PDF file below.

The Erie Fresh CSA is offering the same shares that were available for the 2009 season, and will also take orders for a certified-organic grain share – 25lb of milled spelt flour – and a pastured-raised beef share on special order only. We are limited to 50 fruit and vegetable shares for 2010. First come, first served! Please email eriefresh@gmail.com if you’re interested in securing a share. Thank you for investing with Local Farmers!
