FARM-FRESH GOODS DELIVERED RIGHT TO WHERE YOU WORKOUT
Starting September 20, both Castle Hill Fitness locations will be pick-up sites for CSA boxes from New Leaf Agriculture! New Leaf Agriculture is a farming social enterprise from the Multicultural Refugee Coalition employing refugees at a 20-acre USDA-certified organic farm near Elgin.
As a Certified USDA Organic farm, New Leaf doesn’t use any chemical pesticides or fertilizers, instead employing soil conservation practices like cover cropping, composting, and crop rotation. These practices foster biodiversity to produce nutrient-dense vegetables in a thriving ecosystem.
Sign up for weekly or bi-weekly CSA shares of the upcoming fall season at the button below, and select your CHF location of choice as the delivery destination.
What is a CSA?
‘CSA’ stands for Community Supported Agriculture. These programs are a great way for the local community to support their farmers! CSA shares are paid upfront – this financial commitment provides funding for the New Leaf refugee farmers to prepare beds, buy seeds and transplants, and get the season off to a strong start. Once harvest begins, you’ll then receive weekly shares of the fresh produce you’ve supported.
