River Sun Farm

River Sun Farm is a newly developed

small farm in the Cool Spring area of Ire-

dell County, North Carolina. The farm is

specializing in vegetables, small fruit,

mushrooms and cut flower production.

Our goal as a small farm is to provide lo-

cally grown, fresh, high quality food for lo-

cal residents while following organic prac-

tices. Long term, we hope to offer year

round food supply by producing dried

foods and winter storage crops.

On a personal note, our goal is to teach

our children the importance of where our

food comes from. Having a child grow up

learning the techniques of healthy food

production will provide a sense of confi-

dence in their adult life. Being able to pro-

duce their own food for themselves and

others is a skill and talent that is rapidly

being lost. As parents, we do not know if

they will choose to participate in agricul-

ture as they grow, but we do know that we

want to supply them with that option.

What is a CSA Share?

Community Supported Agriculture, or

CSA, is a way to connect consumers to

farmers and more importantly to where

and how your food is grown. As your

farmer, we commit to grow a large variety

of vegetables, fruits (when available),

herbs and flowers without the use of syn-

thetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.

As a CSA member, you agree to pur-

chase a share in advance to the growing

season while accepting the risk that coin-

cides with agriculture.

How long is the season?

During the CSA season, farm members

receive fresh vegetables through the

summer totaling 20 weeks of produce at

$25.00 per week. Extended season (6

weeks) and cut flower shares (20 weeks)

are also available as additional options.

What will you receive with your purchase?

One CSA share is comprised of approxi-

mately 10 different vegetables each

week (depending on the season) that will

weigh around 10 lbs., or be equivalent to

a grocery bag full of vegetables. A share

can supply food for two vegetable lovers

or a family of four. You can choose to

buy a half share or purchase a whole

share and split it with a loved one.

How do I get my share?

Your box will be available for pick up at

one of two locations. 1) on the farm on

Mondays from 4:00 - 6:00pm. The farm is

located on Old Mocksville Road about 3

miles from Davis Hospital. Maps will be

given at purchase. 2) At The Evening

Farmers Market on Thursday evenings

between 4:00 - 6:00 pm. The market is

located in downtown Statesville, NC at

Pecan Park. Other options may become

available upon request.
