"CSA" is an acronym that stands for Community Supported Agriculture which means you sign on to support us and we make sure to deliver the best of the crops we produce.  When you sign up for the Backbeat Farm CSA, you are purchasing a “share” of  the flower harvest produced on the farm. For example, if we have a stellar dahlia season, you will benefit with the most beautiful dahlias the farm has to offer in your weekly bouquet. 

​

Small farms play a vital role in rural communities. They protect natural resources and and the environment and 

preserve agricultural heritage while providing healthy and sustainable products locally (see MSU Extension for more on these benefits).  Small farms in the U.S. face many challenges due to changing weather patterns, competition with corporate farms and increased operating costs. As a CSA member you’ll join the growing number of like-minded people who support small farms and contribute to the success of local agriculture

 

CSA members invest in our farm at the beginning of the growing season when our operating costs peak and our sales are at their lowest. Your investment helps us purchase seed and equipment without taking out costly loans. We pass on savings to you by offering the finest blooms at a discounted rate. In a nutshell, being a CSA member means you can "partner" with Backbeat Farm without ever pulling a weed!

​
