Healing Harvest
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
Healing Harvest CSA is an outreach project servicing the greater Paducah area with the goal of bringing products from local farms to the tables of our community. Healing Harvest differs from many CSA programs in that the members, not the farms, are represented by the coordinators. Healing Harvest works directly with area growers to supply the membership with a healthy, sustainable alternative to concerns inherent to large scale commercial farming. The participating farms benefit from our marketing and oversight while embracing the accountability as service oriented community citizens. This process creates a "circle of sustainability" that serves all participants. Located within the Heath Health Foods store in Paducah, the CSA is part of the non-profit arm we call Heath Family Ministries. In 2008, the CSA partnered with local growers to provide vegetable boxes, baked goods, eggs, beef, poultry and lamb to our members, which included over eighty local families.
Beginning our 2009 season we are excited to have added growers whose offerings include fruit, herbs and fresh cut flowers. Our offerings continue to expand as the 2009 season approaches. As a business, a ministry, and individuals we recognize the advantages that fresh, in season products grown to the highest natural standards provide to the consumer. For this reason, we add our labor and diligence to that which the growers provide hoping to continue this Healing Harvest for years to come.
Membership creates a partnership in this community project. The membership fee to participate in Healing Harvest CSA is $35 and allows access to all CSA offerings. All offerings require advance commitment and are only available by request and prepayment. Members have pre-assigned dates and times items will be available for pick up.
