I have read and understand the risks I am taking with the farmers at Gravel Knolls Farm for the 2010 harvest season.
Risks Involved
Risk is a factor in any business but in farming, financial risk seems greater than in most businesses because one is totally subservient to the whims of mother nature. When one joins a CSA it is a declaration of the importance of knowing the origin of one's food while accepting some of that risk. By paying up front, the CSA subscriber shares with the farmer the risk that a certain percentage of the crops planned in advance might be failures. This is advantageous to the farmer because he is assured of a certain income even if he doesn't have 100% crop success. The CSA arrangement is advantageous to the subscribers because they are assured of a steady, weekly supply of clean produce, accepted with the knowledge that the produce is grown free of chemicals, that they can visit the farm where the produce was grown and that their money is staying in the local economy.
