Black Bottom Farm would like to announce the start of their new Community Share Agriculture (CSA) program, Black Bottom Farm CSA. Beginning Saturday, June 1, shares will available for on-farm pickup, Saturdays from 10 AM- 12 PM, or at Kingstown Home and Garden, Tuesdays from 4-6 PM. Black Bottom Farm is located at 12810 Black Bottom Road in Galena, just a few minutes from 301.
Black Bottom Farm CSA is unique in that it features products from more than one local farm. “We want to promote other farmers,” says farm owner Kim Wagner, “we want people to know they’re there and what they’re doing. It takes a lot of work to do something well, and each farm has something distinctive to offer.” Black Bottom Farm specializes in raising heritage breed pigs in a healthy environment. Their goal is to keep their pigs happy, rotating them between pasture and woodlot, and providing the highest quality feeds.
Shares in the CSA are available in four-week blocks, starting on the first of each month. Members sign up to receive one box per week. A basic box includes three shares of meat and one dozen eggs, and is available for pick up either on farm or at Kingstown Home and Garden. The large box includes three meat shares, one dozen eggs, 3-5 vegetable shares (depending on season), and one a la carte item, which may include bread, hummus, nut butters, cheese, yogurt or other options. Large boxes may only be picked up on farm. Meat shares may include pork, beef, pastured poultry or wild-caught Pacific salmon. Members can choose their own items or leave the decision up to the farmer. Everything in each box is sourced from local farms, and availability will be posted weekly online.
A basic box starts at $30 per week and a large box costs $55.
