WE CSA invites you to get connected with some of the most tasty, healthy, vibrant food on the planet & explore the world of benefits that eating all natural, local, holistically & sustainably grown vegetables creates for you & your family. Our work nourishes our community & the planet in harmony through the simple abundance of sharing seasonal, interesting, freshly harvested real food with integrity. Membership now open for our 2009 Autumn Harvest Season!

Whole Earth Community Supported Agriculture is a community program offered by Shyryn Joy, a local farmer cultivating two acres in the West Valley of Phoenix, AZ owned by Matthew Moore and family. Through this collaboration, Whole Earth CSA grows and personally harvests vegetables for people throughout the valley who join the farm as members. WE CSA practices all natural, sustainable, wholistic farming that supports the health of the ecosystem and you and your family. Throughout our CSA seasons, weekly deliveries serve to connect communities in the relatively isolated frontiers of the West Valley all the way to Downtown Phoenix with simply the freshest vegetables available!

Become Connected With Your Community and the Earth through Whole Earth CSA!

In Harmony & Abundance!

Participating as a member of a CSA is a lifetsyle shift into a unique form of eating close to the seasons and the ecosystem we live in, and in direct relationship with the people who grow your food.

Community Supported Agriculture works because members of the community offer the monetary resources necessary for a farmer to grow vegetables for them for an entire season to feed their families well and with high integrity. In essence, we become "your" farmers. When we receive your request for membership, we commit to buying seed, planning enough variety, type and amount of crop to grow, preparing the soil in a sustainable manner, and planting, weeding and cultivating enough crop for the appropriate number of members. We make a commitment to each member to personally harvest and deliver a bountiful, diverse, fresh, nutritious, all natural, labor intensive vegetables for the whole season.
For their part of this relationship, CSA members commit to pay for their share of the harvest, and pick up their vegetables during their chosen pick up hours for the whole season. Of course, flexibility is assumed in this arrangement on both sides for lots of reasons, for example, some vegetable varieties that are planted aren't successful and therefore are not harvested, and some members go on vacation or forget to pick up their share some weeks. This is expected and not perceived as any "failure" of the general commitment.

We are always working to provide information about the experience of being a member of our CSA so you may make an informed decision about whether this unique way of eating, buying, and relating to your food, the land and your community will work for you for the season you commit to. We offer installment as well as week to week payment options to enable most people to participate, with the expectation on both sides that membership is for the entire season. Above all else, CSA's are about developing integrity in human relationships, to each other, to what we put in our bodies, to the place we live, and the planet.

Whole Earth CSA members generally express that their CSA experience has exceded their expectations. It's an adventure for us all as we grow in appreciation of the benefits of a CSA that we could not have predicted without experiencing them. As any partnership, we intend this to be an evolving, creative process. We all learn together.

HARMONY & ABUNDANCE!
