Nothing is more important to good health than the foods that we take into our bodies. Foods that are grown without contamination of pesticides and other chemicals provide our bodies the vitamins, minerals that our bodies need to be healthy. Beyond the nutritive effects of organically grown produce there is a spiritual, social and emotional benefit in growing organic as it ties our awareness of our existence with the soil "for dust though art and unto dust thou wilt return". There is a therapeutic benefit of seeing the results of one's labor from soil preparation, planting, cultivation and harvest, the cycles of life. Beyond teaching and growing, we instruct our CSA family how to cook and use the products they grow in the garden and grains that form the part of a healthy delicious lifestyle.
