What's the CSA all about?
Join Centro Ashé as we journey together plant remedies that help to support our health and wellness ~ all locally and lovingly made on our farm in Southern Maryland and at our Centro in Costa Rica. Our CSA members will be participating in a four month membership, and will receive an herbal self-care box for filled with luxurious organically-grown and hand-made botanical goodies. This is a fun and educational opportunity for both folks who are new to or experienced with using herbs for healthcare. It will also be an engaged way to connect with and support your local growers/herbalists. As the local food movement continues to gain strength, an Herbal CSA is a wonderful way to support re-localizing our healthcare, using all natural herbs! Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read the contents of this page, it is important that our member's expectations are in line with our deliverables, and please do not hesitate to ask us any questions you have before signing up for your share!

- You get to know your local growers/herbalists, supporting the local economy!
- Excellent newsletter accompanying each box with instructional information on traditional uses for your herbs.
- You'll have the opportunity to learn new herbs and new ways to use them, all in tune with seasonal rhythms!
* Please note our Herbal CSA Shares are not for those looking to treat a particular health condition or those who are seeking for medical advice.
CSA Model:
Community Supported Agriculture - The CSA model has become popularized in the local food and farming movement, a model in which community members buy a share in that season's harvest on their local farm, providing upfront capital to the farm to grow gorgeous produce and then distribute to share holders through out the season. CSA's are an awesome way for community members to get to know their farmer and together create a thriving local agricultural community! This model is excellent for farmer's risk management as it helps farmers avoid taking out interest accruing loans at the beginning of the season for start up costs, and also helps the community share in the beautiful harvests of the season. CSA is for those who are committed to doing exactly what the name states: supporting community-based agriculture. Traditional sustainable farming has some risk involved, because it is by nature dependent on natural cycles and weather. Too much or too little rain, storms, and more could all be potentially devastating to farm yields, so CSA members commit to the farm's shared risks through any ups and downs. We love the CSA model and are taking the traditional vegetable/fruit CSA model and applying it to herbs! At Centro Ashé we are committed to providing high quality and beautiful CSA share boxes to our members, composed of hand-crafted herbal products, mainly from herbs we grow on our farm. We do source some of our herbs and other ingredients such as essential oils, carrier oils, beeswax, etc. off the farm, with an effort to support local friends/businesses when doing so.
Details:
Your Herbal CSA share includes four abundant boxes which consist of six herbal products. Examples of what might go in your box include herbal balms, lotions, salves, herbal bug-spray, fresh and dry herbs for cooking or tea, herbal vinegars, elixirs, tinctures, herbal seeds, flower essencs, syrups, and more! Don't know what some of those things are? No worries you'll learn! Each box you'll receive an beautiful newsletter that includes in-depth information on the herbs and preparations that are in your box, and ideas how to use them. While boxes are designed around using herbs grown on Centro Ashé Farm, we do source some herbs and other ingredients from ethical sources off the farm. Our Seasonal Herbal CSA is an awesome investment in your/your family's health and wellness!
