CSA for the USA
I had this idea about a year ago. A honey CSA. Community supported agriculture—or apiculture, in this case. And let’s just say it took me reading about another honey CSA to kick me into gear. We’ve taken part in CSA culture—a farm partnership which helped us weather winter with weekly boxes of organic veggies, from the familiar (cabbage) to the exotic (kohlrabi).
Here’s how the Big Sky Honey Farm CSA is going to work. One share provides 12 pounds of honey (4 one-quart jars) for $150. Or you can “buy out” a hive for $1200. This option provides you with a minimum of 96 pounds of honey (32 one-quart jars)—plus any additional honey the hive produces gratis. A deal if you can share with family, or get friends together to go in on a hive.
Let us know if you need a sign-up form.
(That other honey CSA, by the way, is through Meg Woltz out of Long Island.)
