Do you enjoy fresh, local produce? Love to support regenerative agriculture? Then you’ll want to join in the second year of Faith Community Supported Agriculture (FCAS) and make their food-sharing ministry possible by purchasing fruit, vegetables, eggs, and more from our partners at Good Courage Farm (GCF).
St. Stephen’s Church will once again serve as a pick up site for GCF’s FSCA program. If you participated with us last year in GCF’s pilot program, you’ll notice some changes to the program based on feedback received from last summer.
Become a Member with a $100 donation to subsidize the food GCF shares with our partner organizations (including our friends at First Nations Kitchen and Casa Maria!) After joining, you’ll get access to our GCF’s online Farm Market Stand. Throughout the season (May-October) you can purchase whatever produce you like from what is freshly available that week. See a list below of the type of fruit and vegetables you can expect to be available.
Your custom orders of produce will be delivered to St. Stephen’s and available for pick up on Sundays from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM during coffee hour!
