About Us
On February - 26 - 2009
Fullers Farm is owned and operated by Tim and Kathy Fuller in Canton, New York. It is a small, family owned operation that grows a wide variety of vegetables using environmentally friendly methods. Our mission is to promote consumer use of locally grown produce that can bring wholesome healthy meals to the family dinner table throughout the whole year.
Tim and Kathy both come from gardening families and have always raised a garden for freezing and canning.
They are not organic, however they do not use synthetic commercial pesticides. They do minimal applications of botanical or organic pesticides to control pests that threaten crops.
Fullers Farm is offering CSA (Community Supported Agriculture ) shares for the fourth year. To participate in their CSA , customers pay in advance for a share of the farm’s harvest. Each week throughout the growing season, the CSA shareholders go to a convenient location to pick up a box of freshly harvested produce.
Fullers Farm is offering 25 CSA shares for the 2011 growing season.
As a CSA member, you can purchase full or partial shares. Then you will receive the weekly harvest starting in mid June and continuing during the months of July, August, September and October. You can expect to receive a wide variety of produce during the course of the growing season. You can also purchase larger quantities of vegetables for canning and freezing as they become available.
- Four types of CSA Shares are available in 2012.
- A Full ”Share of the Harvest” costs $400.00 (a generous selection of locally grown fresh, healthy produce- enough for an average family or vegetable enthusiasts!)
- A Partial “Share of the Harvest” costs $200.00 (A generous selection of fresh vegetables and greens- enough for an average couple or single)
- A Senior Citizen share that costs $150 will be offered for the first time this year. It will have smaller portions of all vegetables in season, but fewer amounts of herbs,greens and lettuce.
- CSA Work Shares – ( a CSA share in exchange for labor- contact us if this seems like something you’d like to try! It might be a good way to learn how to grow your own ! OR… There are a wide range of ways to help out our operation – suggestions welcome!)
