1. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program Erda Gardens and Learning Center is a grassroots community building effort aimed at sustainability and caring for the Earth. We are a biodynamic Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. We rely on member/shareholders to finance the growing season by purchasing shares of the harvest at the beginning of the season. In return for financial support, the members receive a diverse range of fresh, locally grown, pesticide free, biodynamic produce on a weekly basis, and peace of mind in knowing where their food came from, that it was grown and distributed in an environmentally conscious manner. 2. Community Outreach & Education Program Erda Gardens seeks to inform and educate our community about agricultural practices that heal and preserve the Earth. Each season we offer an Adult Workshop Series and a Children's Workshop Series. Previous workshops have included diverse topics and activities such as: biodynamic and organic gardening, food preservation methods, elements of permaculture design, as well as arts and crafts projects using natural and recycled materials. Another one of our goals is to help train future food growers by offering mini-internships for students to work and learn sustainable growing techniques from a master bio-dynamic organic farmer.
Our mission is to provide fresh, healthy produce in a manner which preserves and enhances local farmland, to build community through shared work, play, education and food, and to be an evolving model of sustainable agriculture that connects humans, wildlife and the environment.
