\u201cIt\u2019s of vital importance that we have fresh food that we can identify the source of and that we know how to sustainably and organically grow it,\u201d Bartel explains as she picks up her fourth week’s haul of lettuce, peppers and tomatoes. \u201cSigning up for the lottery was a no-brainer because it sounded like a fabulous way to support Eckerd and all the work students put into the farm.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CSA program (also called veggie subscription boxes), launched in February, is an extension of the farm\u2019s commitment to feeding the Eckerd community while educating its students. Student farmworkers also sell vegetables and herbs to the campus cafeteria<\/a>; operate a free Thursday harvest stand where they give away pounds of produce to students, faculty and staff; and allow all people on campus to pick their own food from two garden beds designated as the U-Pick area.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding”

Faculty Director David Himmelfarb, Ph.D.<\/a> \u201cSo our first stop was direct marketing to the cafeteria, because that\u2019s where most students eat. But over the years, we\u2019ve been experimenting with different ways of doing things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Superfans have been flocking to the campus\u2019s Thursday free harvest stand for a year now, Himmelfarb says, and the demand led them to the idea of starting the CSA boxes. More than 60 students, faculty and staff applied for the 20 slots. Himmelfarb says the program administrators are already talking about expansion to up to 40 next year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”18119″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Harvest stand vegetables grown at the community farm on campus are free to students and employees.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\u201cMore people want food sourced from places and people they trust,\u201d Himmelfarb explains. \u201cAnd there\u2019s no farm that is more transparent and direct than ours.
