Why Organic Strawberries Matter -

Strawberries at JenEhr Farm are grown and certified following organic (MOSA) growing standards. What that means is we grow these delicious berries without the use of any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. That means all the weeds are hand pulled (more than 300 hours of weeding on the 1 acre field), plants are cultivated and fertilization is done in the fall with compost.

Why do we go to all this trouble? The taste is the first reason. We believe that strawberries grown without the use of petroleum-based chemicals simply taste better. We believe that it’s a more sustainable farming practice, even if it leads to some stiff limbs at the end of the day. And finally, its how we want to eat and the kind of quality we want to provide for our family, friends and neighbors.

Non-organic strawberry fields can be sprayed as little as 24 hours before you come to pick. We don’t want anybody to endanger their health while picking strawberries.

A Good Value – Easy on the Budget

Raising a family, paying the mortgage, and putting nutritious meals on the table can be taxing in the present economy, as we all face belt tightening. It is exactly in these economic times that CSA continues to make sense. You’ve made the decision to eat healthier, to eat organic food and to eat closer to home. Becoming a JenEhr CSA member fulfills all those requirements while making it easy on your budget. We offer several payment options that allow you to do everything from pay for your CSA share all at once, to very convenient monthly payments that spread the costs of eating well out over the course of the entire year. Monthly direct withdraws from your checking or savings account, much like your utilities’s budget plan, allows you to make small monthly payments for your CSA share. Three time payments with post-dated checks spread the payments out into bite-sized pieces, for easier budgeting. And what better place to put your tax refund than into your coming grocery costs.
