Dear Friends,

February is almost over and the start of the Spring CSA season is rapidly approaching. Very soon we will be delivering our weekly boxes of farm fresh, healthy vegetables to you and your family. Delivery will begin the week of April 16th and continue for 12 weeks. It is time to secure your membership, and to the many that have signed up already, we thank you.

We are excited about our upcoming Spring/Summer session as we will continue to deliver the best of our local fruits and vegetables.

The mild temperatures this winter and our recent rainfall has many of our crops planted and many coming up already as the moisture soaks into the dry ground to nourish their growth. This year we are adding several new items including, snow peas, Swiss chard, and purple potatoes along with our early items, onions, sugar peas, collards, broccoli, cabbage, beets, kale, lettuce, carrots, radishes, turnips and rutabagas, and many more as we get further into the season. Be sure to check our website which now has an updated availability chart. This session we will also provide a weekly newsletter to keep you informed on a regular basis of how the crops are progressing.

We thank all of you, our loyal customers for your business and we know that you will enjoy the coming season.

Hello again to all our loyal customers and new visitors. Our spring season is coming soon and we already have many items planted.

There is no doubt that family-owned farms are struggling across the country, but innovative produce farms, like Gruber Farm in South Carolina, are taking matters into their own hands by reaching out to their local communities for direct support.  This business model is not new, but lately it is becoming increasingly more popular with small, family-owned produce farms. It’s called Community Supported Argiculture or CSA, for short.

Gruber CSA Farm was founded in 1948 and has been producing fruit and vegetables under the same family ownership every since. This Spring they will be offering that same fresh produce as CSA shares to the Carolinas, from Charlotte to Savannah. Stanley Gruber grew up working this farm and now heads up the entire operation,” says his sister, Susan G. Kirlin, “he is excited at the prospect of bypassing all of the middlemen to bring his produce directly to the families in communities across the state.”
