The Co-op is located on 70 acres of land. We have equipment, water, and a greenhouse. We would like to partner with someone to develop vegetable CSA on our property. This is a great opportunity for the right folks with the potential for a lot of synergy. The CSA would operate separately from the Co-op. But we would share customers and some of the operational tasks.

The rural location of the co-op land will intimidate some potential CSA members because of the relatively long drive to get here. It is an obstacle the Co-op has had to deal with for years. The delivery and drop off locations we have established in town successfully addresses this issue. A similar approach could be utilized by the farm CSA. Attending a farmer's market once a week could also provide a means for customers to pick up their vegetable shares as well as providing additional sales. Working members will still be required for a successful CSA, but they won't be impossible to find. The Co-op has some working members itself.

Growing vegetables in eastern Colorado is a challenge and requires an experienced CSA farmer to succeed.
