Come and celebrate our first event of the year on May 6th, the Annual Work Day! The aim will be to work on one of Cedar Glen's latest major initiatives (i.e. program shelters), or smaller tasks in support of the organic farm. We will meet at 9:30 am for the work portion, enjoy a lunch together, and continue with events in the afternoon. This is a morning and afternoon event, which will take place rain or shine, with alumni and their friends and family are invited. Please RSVP to cedarglenalumni@gmail.com before May 1st, and be sure to mention any food allergies.

What is a Community Support Agriculture?

How does it work?
Membership grants you access to a share of our harvest available for pick-up on a weekly basis. You can customize you share, allowing you to choose vegetables from what is available in our fields. Operating on a point system, you can choose from three different membership plan: small (4 points), medium (6 points), large (8 points). Each crop or bundle is worth one point. Depending on what you opt for, each week you will have a greater or lesser number of points to customize your share. Every week you will receive a list of vegetables you can choose from for your share.
