[SusDet Announce] Farm Shares

[Jacob Stevens Corvidae]

Hi Charles,

Yes, it's a great concept -- commonly called a CSA or Community 
Supported Agriculture. The primary CSA serving Detroit and the northern 
subs in Maple Creek Farm. They're great and please tell them I sent you. 
Danny and Michelle are the farmers and my house was their drop off site 
in Detroit for years. They're great. You can find them at 
www.maplecreekfarm.com

I believe Tantre Farm from Ann Arbor also has a drop off site nearby at 
the Zen Temple in Hamtramck. You can contact them for details at 
http://www.detroitzencenter.org/contact.htm

I hope you don't mind, but I'm copying this to the Sus. Det. listserv so 
others can followup on this too, if they're interested.

Jacob

They were saying not having to sell their produce frees them up to spend more time on farming.  I can not remember where I saw the information on it.  Was it in one of the Sustainable Announce listings?  If not do you know of any family/local farms that are doing this?  (I think they were in Capac)
