What makes Heritage Acres a unique CSA:

The Prettymans run an 80-acre family farm that is Certified Naturally Grown, and have been running a CSA for five years.  They believe in giving back to the earth more than what they take by adding well composted manures, leaf mold, wood chips, green manures & vegetable matter to our soil.  Most of their plants are raised from seed on the farm, and many are from seeds they save.  Healthy, pesticide & herbicide-free gardens mean healthy bodies for the farmers & their customers alike.  Jacki carries the same practices into her state-certified kitchen, using all-natural ingredients & as much on-farm produce as possible.  From their wholesome produce & the freshly baked breads & pies to the sweet preserves & pickled vegetables, quality is very important to the Prettymans.

Are you a member of a club or group of regularly-meeting folks who would like to form a CSA?  Heritage Acres Farm is open to creating a CSA for individual groups and small corporations — contact Eldon and Jacki for details.
