It's time for Breezy Willow Farm's Spring C.S.A. season and we wanted to tell you why we love their C.S.A.
1. Breezy Willow Farm C.S.A. offers a variety of vegetables and fruits each week. Spring C.S.A. offers the following:
Locally, from cold storage, they will offer crops such as potatoes, apples, beets, onions and more. The variety will evolve as the season progresses. To insure variety they will co-op the early spring program with produce that may not be in this local region. This may include citrus and in-season items from the southern growing regions until the local season hits full stride. Please keep this in mind before joining the spring program.
An example of Springs offerings: Beans, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Onions, Potatoes, Spinach, Strawberries, Kale, Tomatoes, Squash, Beets. Citrus, Garlic and Herbs.
2. A Spring Share feeds a family of 4, which is perfect for us and many of you!
3. They offer add-ons to enhance your weekly C.S.A. I love adding on all of these options. I love knowing I'll be getting my bread, eggs, and a value added item each week and can count on that in my weekly meal planning.
Bread & Eggs Weekly: $192 ($16 weekly)
In addition to your fresh, local, seasonal produce, we also offer 1 dozen pasture-raised eggs and a freshly milled premium bread from one of our local bakeries such as Great Harvest or the Breadery
Eggs Only – Weekly: $108 ($9 per week)
1 dozen pasture-raised eggs
Bread Only – Weekly : $84($7 per week)

6. You are supporting your local farmers! We love to Shop Local in Howard County and this is another way to do that.
7. Food costs are constantly fluctuating. Locking in on your food costs is a great way to help your family budget. Also, the peace of mind knowing your food is ready and waiting for you each week is another benefit.
8. Speaking of food costs, they offer flexible payment options!
9. We all know that eggs are harder to get in traditional stores right now. Adding the egg option to your C.S.A. takes the pressure off. You know you will have your dozen ready for pick up or delivery each week.
10. When you choose the added bread option, you know you are getting fresh bread from other local businesses and continuing to Shop and Support local, all in one place.
11. C.S.A. Members get 10% off everything at Breezy Willow Farm Country Market.
12. They are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We always leave with a smile!
