CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture!

​

Here at 7 Arrow Ranch, we call our CSA program a "Flock Share."  Because, chickens!!

 

A Flock Share is, literally, a share--or ownership--of a portion of our flocks.  When you purchase a share of our flock, your money goes to the feeding, sheltering, nurturing, care, and keeping of your poultry.

 

For the health and well-being of our flocks, this means regularly gathering eggs (naturally, and seasonally), and the proper care and maintenance of our meat chickens, which includes raising them seasonally, and processing (butchering) them in a timely and humane fashion.    

​

​Owners agree to share in the inherent risks and rewards of agriculture.  Favorable conditions produce larger birds and more eggs.  Less than favorable conditions produce smaller birds, a reduction in eggs, or occasionally illness, injury, or even death. 

 

That being said, we do everything we can, of course, to mitigate risk.  Because if we don't have chicken available for you, that means we don't have it available for us, either.  I like to eat.  I don't want to go hungry, or buy chicken from the store, so I'm going to make sure you don't have to either!!

​

As a Flock Share member, you make a seasonal commitment to us, and in turn we make a commitment to you. Flock Share members take pleasure in knowing where and how their food is grown, and have an open line of communication with us. It is our goal to actively teach our members how to use the food you receive each month.
