Join the 2011 Flagstaff Garden Starts CSA! The CSA’s mission is to provide high-quality, responsibly grown vegetable, herb, and edible flower starts to the Flagstaff community, while educating and bringing together backyard growers. Members of this CSA will be taking local food production into their own hands, while procuring part of their food security.
Shares include 25 six-packs of seasonally appropriate vegetables, herbs, and edible flower seedlings. In the beginning of the season, participants will receive cold-tolerant plants, such as cole crops (broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc.), lettuce, and onions. As the season progresses and the weather warms, the share will shift to crops like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, cucumbers, etc. Shares will also include seed for beans, peas, carrots, marigolds, nasturtiums, and a winter rye cover crop that are best sown directly in your garden. Pick-ups occur at the Flagstaff Native Plant & Seed Nursery on Wednesdays (3-6pm) from May through June. Click here to see the tentative pick-up schedule.
Learn the joy and satisfaction of growing your own food! For more information here is a link to the registration form If you have any questions you can e-mail Jen at flaggardenstarts@gmail.com.
Shares are limited, so be sure to sign up before they are all gone!
