CSA membership comes with rewards and risks. Your farmers, Pete Ambrose and his youngest son Sam began transitioning to organic farming in early 2004 when Sam joined the team. They've been committed to ORGANIC farming since and don't use non-organic products except when a Clemson University professional recommends one as the option to save a crop from total loss. We will ALWAYS disclose the use of any non-organic product so you have the choice to accept or reject it.
CSA membership funds help purchase seed, plant and grow the crops as organically as possible, then pick and pack your share.
Growing comes with risks—MOTHER NATURE being our most unreliable and unpredictable partner. Crops can—and have been—damaged or destroyed by heavy or unrelenting rain, high winds, freezes, hurricanes, etc. We do our best, and most often, come out of bad weather events without too much damage. The produce may not be beautiful due to weather damage, but it's certainly usable and delicious.
But we have lost crops entirely, and no matter what we planned, we may not be able to provide you with what was planned and planted. Sharing in good times feels great, but having to share the burden of a loss feels terrible. When you join a CSA, you're committing to and willing to share the risk as well as the rewards. We've been farming 40 years and have experienced very few disasters, but when they hit, it hurts.
For example, on April 5, many years ago in the early 1980s, Easter Sunday, with all crops planted—tomatoes about 12 inches high, staked, pruned, and beautiful; squash several days away from harvest; peppers about 12" high—we suffered an unexpected killing frost. We lost everything—EVERYTHING. We reseeded the peppers and squash, added a few eggplants, and harvested a reasonable crop about 1 month later than planned. But tomatoes, our major life-sustaining crop, total loss. It was too late in the season to plant new seedlings in the greenhouse, too late in the season to purchase plants from commercial growers, and no farmer we could find had any extra plants to share. We've been through 3 hurricanes that have completely destroyed our crops, the farm buildings, greenhouses, etc. But, we're still here, and happy to have partners like you to help us get through everything we may face—good and bad.
We are always open to suggestions—whether it's a crop you enjoy, recipes you wish to share, or items you'd like to have available. Just anything you have to offer to make us a better partner.
