Cherry Valley CSA is in its fourth season of operation. We provided 45 shares to the community in 2007, about 74 shares in 2008 and 90 shares in 2009. The farm operates on a portion of the former Josephine Porter Farm, which is owned by Stroud Township and was acquired as part of its open space initiative.
The farm, envisioned by farm manager Heidi Secord, focuses on the legacy of Porter, who made biodynamic agriculture preparations in this country for almost three decades. Biodynamic growers recognize the soil itself to be alive and that human health and vitality depend upon the health and vitality of the soil. The concept goes beyond the term "organic."
Aside from the fresh vegetables grown and harvested weekly at the farm, a buying club has been created to offer other healthy whole foods from local sources - including honey, meat, cheese, eggs, salmon, and more.
