Bluebird Gardens has a two-part mission

Our goals are to:

1) connect people to the farm where their food is grown.

2) take good care of the land so we can provide the highest quality, nutrient-rich vegetables.

The evolution of our farm has brought us to the point where the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) model offers the best fit for advancing our mission.

Meeting our Mission 

How we connect people to the farm... 

Through our CSA, members connect with the farm through the weekly emails which tell what is in the box this week as well as how it might be used. They connect with the growing number of youtube videos giving progress updates of the farm. The solidifying connections occur when the CSA members visit our farm to take part in harvest events. These connections convert our vegetable customers into family members. Our farm becomes THEIR farm. For us, the CSA is the pinnacle of the local food movement!

How we take care of the land... 

The other half of our mission is providing our CSA members with the highest quality, most nutrient-dense produce we can. We do this through what we call biological farming. It all starts with the soil. We add in the missing elements and feed the life in the soil that helps build fertility. The result is great tasting, nutrient-rich vegetables. It is a huge investment, but you are worth it!
