What is a CSA?
A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share is a seasonal subscription to a farm’s products—whether vegetables, meat, flowers, or in this case, naturally dyed fiber. The CSA model benefits both farmers and members, matching supply to demand and preventing waste. For farmers, it provides an income stream when it is needed most to purchase supplies for the season. CSAs provide members with a direct connection to the farm and build important community-farmer relationships.
What is in a Color Share?
A full share includes 20 skeins of hand-dyed fiber showcasing the full range of dye plants grown on our farm. Both yarn options come in 20g skeins for a total of 400g of fiber per share.
A half share includes 10 skeins, with an option to choose to receive either blues and greens or yellows and oranges. A half share includes a total of 200g of fiber.

What colors can I expect to receive?
At this time, the colors I produce span four color families: blues, oranges, greens, and yellows. You will not receive any true reds or purples this year, but stick with me and in a couple of years we will have beautiful reds and purples as the madder roots mature.
