Hungry Toad Farm

9307 Rooks Road

Hungry Toad Farm CSA is offering 20 Full shares and 10 Half shares this year. 22 weeks and Certified Organic! June 10 -- November 4.

You will receive the bounty of each season, and care will be taken to ensure that your box has a generous selection of vegetables that will vary each week. CSA members' needs take precedence over the produce that goes to market.

Starting in Early June, and going up to November. I am offering a limited number of shares at two different levels.

At-the-farm pickup and pickup at 2nd St. Market will be the methods of distribution. Your produce will be available for pickup at the farm on Fridays beginning at 11 AM and will be available until Sunday night. I can also bring boxes to 2nd St Market in Downtown Dayton on Saturdays.

My general farm page here on Local Harvest has a list of what I grow. (Scroll down on the general Hungry Toad Farm page) I am adding more fruits every year.

I would like to send you my CSA subscription details and a more complete picture of what this farm has to offer to you. Just ask! Contact: [email protected] or Hungry Toad Farm on facebook.

Learn to grow Organically!

I am offering one generous free share arrangement to a dedicated CSA picker/packer/organizer. I am also offering a farm-wide, internship/apprenticeship which includes housing for a whole-season person or persons.

I rely on many local workers, customers, volunteers, and Friends of the Farm in order to bring fresh, healthy, high quality produce to you. I can offer reduced cost shares for those who would like to work on the farm.

I emphasize that I am a Certified Organic Grower, and not a grower who only makes claims about which growing practices or philosophies I follow. Certfication is important. I am also truly Local to the markets where I sell.

You can see my farm, you can meet me and my workers, I can show you my equipment and where your food came from - within a few feet. The money I earn stays as close to this economic area as I can keep it.

Hungry Toad Farm's CSA is the real thing.

I am a Certified Organic Grower (OEFFA) of produce, cut flowers, herbs, and plants. I have been growing organically here for 30 years. I have been certified organic since the inception of the National Organic Program in 2001.

Eggs are available as self-service beginning in Dec, 2010. Visit the driveway at 9498 Clyo Rd. 45458

Suburbia is encroaching on all sides here, but this has been a small farm for over 150 years and I maintain an island of sound productivity and sustainability in the midst of it -- for our benefit and for that of our neighbors.

I grow a very wide variety of produce which includes hardneck garlic, special potatoes, bramble fruits, celery, and other not-so-common crops.
