Information about the CSA
We grow a diverse selection of produce for our members. You can expect to have a wide variety of in-season produce to enjoy. For 2020, we anticipate a 16 week season with 4 - 6 items for the first four to five weeks. These will be mostly greens and other early season crops. For weeks five through twelve the number of different items will range from 7 - 15 per week. These items will be warm season crops. For the last 4 weeks we expect 6 - 10 (or more!) different items each week.
2020 will be the twelfth year of operation for Upland Hills CSA. This year we are excited to be partnering with Upland Hills School and Upland Hills Kitchen. As part of these partnerships we will be adding new things to the garden, including small plots for the school classes and "demonstration" areas such as a wheat plot, a "three sisters" plot (corn, beans, and squash), a dry bean plot, a sorghum plot, and more. These demonstration plots will be for school/self education to help us learn how to grow and harvest these crops. We are also beginning a new composting program to enrich the garden soil.
The Upland Hills CSA Management Team worked hard to gain our organic certification and the CSA was certified organic in previous years by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA). Starting March 2013, however, we did not renew the certification due to cost considerations. We remain committed to ecologically responsible and sustainable farming practices.
The Upland Hills CSA is located four miles east and two miles south of Oxford. We feel blessed to be nestled in the Upland Hills Learning Community. The Learning Community includes the Upland Hills Farm (www.uplandhillsfarm.com), the Upland Hills School (www.uplandhills.org) and the CSA.
