Fresh
Earth Farms provides a wide variety of food and farm related products.
Ø
CSA: CSA stands for Community
Supported Agriculture. At Fresh Earth
Farms we take a unique approach to CSA.
The Fresh Earth Farms CSA is both traditional – in the sense we provide
standard boxes and drop sites – and
unique – with on-farm pick-up our members buy the amount of produce specific to
their families needs. Please see Fresh Earth Farms CSA to learn more
about our CSA approach. To understand
more about Community Supported Agriculture please see CSA.

FruitShare: Here in Minnesota we are
limited in the types of fruit we can grow.
However this doesn’t mean we can’t get them elsewhere! FruitShare is like
the traditional CSA however with fruit instead of vegetables. We bring in the freshest, tastiest certified organic fruit from across the country, packed in the field and
shipped that day. Now not only can you
get delicious, chemical-free Minnesota grown fruits and vegetable from Fresh
Earth Farms but also organic fruit from across the country! Please see FruitShare for more details.
Ø
MeatShare: Fresh Earth Farms is proud to offer grass-fed
organic meats from Anderson Farm. By
teaming with Anderson Farm we provide nutritionally superior and more flavorful
beef, pork and chicken with the convenience of pick-up at Fresh Earth Farms. To find out more about this program please see
MeatShare.
Ø
FlowerShare: Just like our weekly
produce but with flowers. Each week you
will receive a bouquet of flowers or fall decorations. There is nothing like beautiful flowers to
dress up a room or office. Please see Flower Share for more details.
Ø
CheeseShare: Fresh Earth Farms has
teamed with Green Pastures Dairy to provide our members with raw milk cheese
made from cows raised on pasture. Raw
milk cheese provides a number of nutritional benefits not found in pasteurized cheese. Plus it is very tasty! To learn more please see CheeseShare.
Ø
CoffeeShare: Fresh Earth Farms is
teaming up with Velazquez
Family Coffee to provide members with an extraordinary coffee drinking
experience. Velasquez Family coffee is organically grown on the small farms of various members
of the Velasquez family in the National Mountains of Comayagua
in Honduras. They use no chemical
pesticides or fertilizers. They practice
ecologically sound farming including the preservation of old shade trees and
the planting of new trees. To learn more
please see Coffee.
Ø
WinterShare: New for 2009 Fresh Earth Farms is offering a Winter Storage
Share. Who says you can’t enjoy
Minnesota grown produce in January? With a WinterShare
you will receive a variety of different produce that stores easily during the
winter. Most items in a WinterShare will store in a cool, dry place. No need for expensive refrigeration. To learn more please see WinterShare.
Ø
Pick-Your-Own Berries: The berry fields were renovated during the 2008 season. In 2009 there should be a reasonable quantity
of strawberries (though not up to full production yet) but not many
raspberries. For those members who like to participate in
the farming process as well as enjoy the “fruits” of their labor we provide
Members-only berry picking. We have two
varieties of strawberries and eight varieties of raspberries, including black,
purple and yellow. Please see Pick Your Own for more details.
Ø
Custom Herb Six Packs: For those members who like the convenience of
having their own herb garden we offer a custom order herb six-pack. Select any combination of the herbs we grow
and we will start them in our greenhouse in 2.5 inch per cell six packs. They will be ready for your garden or pots on
your patio in mid May. Please see Custom Herb Six Packs for more
details.
