Bell Organic Gardens of Draper has been providing the Salt Lake area with fresh, local produce for 10 years. We have enjoyed a long relationship with local restaurants and produce purveyors. Now we are happy to continue to grow our partnership with this community by offering CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares to families and individuals who share our strong belief in the importance of locally produced, organically grown fruits and veggies.

2010 CSA Information

Our 2010 CSA growing season runs 18 weeks from June 14th to October 13th, 2010.

Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership— between us and you, the organic consumer. Our CSA allows families to directly access farm-fresh organic produce and support organic agriculture. An upfront payment in the spring allows us to predict what will be grown and helps us acquire seed and agricultural supplies.

Produce Share: Beans, beets, broccoli raab, cabbage, carrots, celery, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, arugula, asian greens, mustard greens, kale, kohlrabi, garlic, shallots, onions, heirloom tomatoes, lettuce, peas, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, spinach, summer squash, winter squash, swiss chard. We also offer organically grown fresh cut flowers as they become available during the season.

If you have a larger group that you are cooking for you may want to purchase 2 shares and receive two jars of honey at a time.
