Frequently Asked Questions
Is your farm a co-op?
This question has come up rather frequently due to the name of the farm: Stone Coop Farm. The farm's namesake is actually a large, stone chicken coop (hence, Stone Coop, not co-op) from the 1880s on the property of Hamburg Fitness Center, where we started the farm in 2011. The coop has served many purposes aside from housing chickens over the years, including camp dormitories and bathrooms. To answer the question directly, we are a CSA, not a co-op. See several questions below for more information on CSAs.
What does CSA stand for?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA members pay for a season of produce before the season begins. In return members get a share of fresh and healthy vegetables. When you purchase a Stone Coop Farm membership, you are allowing us to purchase seeds, equipment, and supplies when we need it the most, before the harvest. This membership lets you get to know your farmers, see your food grow and ripen, be in tune with the weather and impact on the crops, and maybe even get your hands dirty helping us on the farm. This direct access to your food is impossible to obtain from the store.
