Willow Way Herbal CSA

Willow Way Herbal CSA

We are pleased to announce Willow Way’s Herbal CSA. When you pay for a CSA farm-share up-front before the growing season, you are provided with a weekly share of fresh organic produce throughout the growing season, while lessening the farmer’s risk. Our Herbal CSA shares will be distributed for each season. You may sign up for Summer, Fall, Winter or Spring shares—or all four. Each season’s share will reflect the needs of that time of year. For example, the summer share will include herbal insect repellant along with summer sun teas, skin creams & salves, etc.. The winter share will include herbal massage oil, immune booster teas, medicinal honeys and local beeswax candles, etc.

In our quest to provide a Permaculture model, we aim at growing our fertilizers on our site to maintain a healthy nutrient balance in our soil. We are serious about cutting the petro-calories in each calorie of food.We are not yet certified as organic. However, we do not use any chemical fertilizer or toxic pest controls on our land.

What is a Willow Way Permaculture Herbal Share?
Our Herbal CSA shares provide you with quality herb teas for your table, vibrant medicinal herbal products to keep you healthy, as well as culinary herbs. A share consists of a wide variety of herbal health preparations containing herbs organically grown on our farm. In general, they contain formulas that both enhance vitality and address a variety of common conditions.

We grow herbs that are native or well-adapted here, thus not needing excessive inputs, preferably those with low-water needs. Plants that are well-adapted here will also help us adapt. We also grow local natives that are under pressure from over-harvesting.

Paying for your share now will enable us to move forward with our production plans for 2010. We are so appreciative of your participation. Shares are available now.Sign up for one season-share, at $90. or all four seasons for a 15% discount at $300.One share is recommended for one person. Shares will be delivered to convenient pick-up points around the County.

You can also purchase our current Willow Way Herbals now at Niwot Market.
