What is a CSA ?
A CSA is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and community members who pay the farmer an annual membership fee to help cover production costs of the farm. In return, members receive a regular share of the production - for Yellow Springs Farm members, this is a share of local artisanal cheese.
A cheese CSA operates much like a vegetable or fruit CSA. As a CSA member you will be enjoying regular deliveries of artisan cheese while helping support diversity, sustainability, and small scale innovation in farming. Your food choices are helping shape the future of our food systems.
What do we offer?
Yellow Springs Farm proudly offers both fresh and aged Artisanal Goat Cheeses. The most important part of our cheeses is the exceptionally good milk our goats produce. We breed and raise Nubian goats, with occasional genetic crosses, carefully selected for their naturally nutrient rich milk. Our herd browses pasture, cleans up invasive plant species in the woodland, and basks in the sun. Our goats also eat local hay, and organic grains.
Al and Catherine Renzi make Yellow Springs Farm cheeses using age-old processes borrowed from both French and Italian traditions. Our original interpretation of these recipes, and inclusion of farm-raised herbs, nuts, and honey make many unique Yellow Springs Farm Goat Cheeses. Each small batch is handmade, and never includes preservatives or anything artificial.
We offer both fresh, pasteurized milk cheeses, more. We love to select palette-pleasing trends to pair with local, fresh foods. There is always a new cheese to try. Please ask for tasting and cheese pairing notes so that you can enjoy all the good flavors of Yellow Springs Farm.
Yellow Springs Farm members will receive a cheese share two times per month. Each Springs assortment - usually 3 varieties of Yellow Springs Farm cheeses totaling 12 - 14 oz.
NEW option for 2011 is PLUS Share with 4 cheese portions totaling 16 oz. PLUS Share is perfect for split shares and larger households
Both fresh pasteurized milk cheeses and aged raw milk cheeses are included. Members also have unique opportunities to try new products and place special orders for extra cheese.
