COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE
WHAT IS CSA?
​​​
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) rekindles the vital connection between our food, the land on which it's grown, and the farmers who cultivate it. Community members directly support farmers local to their area by purchasing shares before the growing season. These shares of produce, herbs, flowers, and other products then get delivered to the community shareholders throughout the season. CSA is an integral part of small scale agriculture as it allows farmers to buy seeds, pay farm workers, and continue cultivating plants and produce without waiting until harvest time to generate income.
​
ABOUT OUR CSA
​
We are a member farm of Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative; a non-profit, organic farmers' cooperative of over one hundred family farms creating a wide variety of products under the Community Supported Agriculture model. Our products, produce, herbs, and flowers get delivered across the tri-state area everywhere from neighborhood porches to workplaces. Through Farm Fresh Cooperative, Lancaster Farmacy offers a seasonal Herbal Medicine Share (4 shares/year) and a weekly Summer Flower Share (18 weeks).
OUR CSA OPTIONS
HERBAL MEDICINE CSM SHARE
We are proud to be a part of the growing Community Supported Medicine (CSM) Movement and to offer our handcrafted small batch herbal medicines in our Herbal Medicine Share.
The Herbal Medicine Share comes quarterly and consists of
6-7 items for wellness support guided by each season. By expanding your herbal medicine cabinet, you will be taking your health into your own hands to nourish your body for the seasonal shifts.
Changing with each season, you may receive items like detoxifying and digestive support tonics, healing skin salves, freshly infused therapeutic skin oils, beneficial tea blends, and rejuvenating bath salts. Purchasing this share grants you access to our Medicine Share Portal which provides information on the wellness benefits of our herbal products.
​
Our Herbal Medicine CSM Share is sold and distributed through Farm Fresh Cooperative.
SUMMER FLOWER CSA SHARE
From seed to bouquet, we grow fresh cut flowers without the use of harmful pesticides or herbicides, so you can feel good about displaying Lancaster Farmacy flowers in your home or giving them to a friend! This year, our Summer Flower Share runs from June 9th–October 13th, so you can enjoy weekly bouquets all season long.
​
Many shareholders purchase our Summer Flower Share to brighten their home, bring more color into their workplace, or to give a loved one the gift of a weekly field bouquet. With each bouquet, you can find varieties of flowers like Echinacea, Zinnia, Celosia, Goldenrod, Sunflowers, Snapdragons, Ageratum, Geranium, and many others.​
