WHERE DO THE VEGETABLES AND EGGS COME FROM?
ARE THEY CERTIFIED ORGANIC?
The produce sold through Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative (LFFC) is certified organic unless otherwise noted. They do support farmers that are looking to make their farms sustainable. They also support local farms that use Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M.) techniques. The animal products that you purchase are from small family farms with small herds and flocks. These animals always have access to pasture and enjoy the freedom of foraging through the grasses with the earth under their feet.
When you purchase LFFC products you can be confident that you will receive the freshest farm products, raised humanely, with consideration for the land, animals and people. Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative is owned by the farmers working in cooperation with each other to bring you healthy, quality foods.
WHAT IS THE LANCASTER FARM FRESH COOPERATIVE (LFFC)?
WHAT IS COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE (CSA)?
Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative (LFFC) is a non profit organic farmers cooperative of 75 farmers in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. They focus on creating healthy high quality foods from highly maintained and enriched soils on small scale family farms.
LFFC provides fresh, certified organic fruits, vegetables, and other farm fresh products through a subscription program also known as Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. CSA members commit to support LFFC farmers for the entire growing season by paying for their share of the harvest in the winter and early spring. The farmers are able to purchase supplies in the winter and start their crops in early spring, they repay the shareholders in fresh, organic, seasonal produce. CSA enables you to keep local sustainable farms and local food safe for future generations. It’s a great legacy. |
