Plowshares Farm CSA
Plowshares farm provides many types of vegetables throughout the summer growing season. Each week the members receive a box of vegetables which varies according to what the garden is producing that week. We try to provide many varieties of greens, beans, cucumbers, squash, melons, sweet corn, root crops, tomatoes, peppers, egg plants, potatoes, herbs, and perhaps anything else that strikes our fancy. We try to provide 7-10 different types of vegetables with enough of each to feed a family of four one generous meal.
Sometimes one or two crops will fail due to bugs, disease, or unforeseen calamities (such as cows getting in the garden), but we try to grow enough varieties to always deliver a large box overflowing with produce picked on the day you receive them. We plant 25-30 types of veggies and over 50 distinct varieties of these. The boxes are delivered to a pick-up location in South Bend. Members pay one price for produce throughout the season. Eggs can be delivered in the box each week, but they cost extra.
Plowshares farm is owned by Brett Bradley, Kathy Czubernat and their four children Donald, Joseph, Veronica, and Bernadette. Brett is the primary farmer, but everybody joins in the work at times. Brett also works full time as a nurse at Memorial Hospital in South Bend. All members or prospective members of Plowshares Farm are welcome to visit the farm anytime. We are not a certified organic farm as we have not gone through the expensive and complicated process of certification, but we use no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, other than composted animal manure.
