Description

Torpland Farm
Through our CSA, we aim to make healthy eating fun, easy and delicious by promoting the  "five colors for health" way of eating. We provide a weekly share of freshly picked organic vegetables, fruits and herbs for 20 weeks. Through your CSA share, you will experience the satisfaction of eating seasonally and knowing where your food comes from.

Shares are about the size of a full paper grocery bag and should feed a family of four. We offer a combination of familiar foods along with some that may be new to you. We also will offer specialty items that include heirloom and low-acid varieties. All shares will be accompanied by recipes and serving suggestions.

Torpland Farm is owned and operated by Ann and Richard Torp. We are new farmers committed to healing our food system and building community by providing freshly picked produce to our neighbors. In 2010, we began farming a half-acre of land under the name Torps' Half-acre Harvest. For the 2011 season, we are growing at the Farm Business Development Center at Prairie Crossing Farm. With this move, we have expanded to one acre and changed our name to Torpland Farm. This is in honor of our escape cabin up North, which friends have dubbed, "Torpland." Coincidentally, in Scandinavian languages, a 'torp' is a small leased farm area.

This year we are offering 20 CSA shares. Through our CSA, we are encouraging people to eat the "Five Colors for Health" way.
