When you sign up for a CSA share or subscription at Maple Wind Farm, you’re not just securing high-quality, pasture-raised meats—you’re actively shaping the way we farm. These models help create a stable, resilient foundation that allows us to stay focused on the long-term health of our animals, land, and food system.
Here’s how that support makes a real difference:
Predictable Income = Smarter, More Sustainable Planning
Farming is full of uncertainty—from feed prices and chick availability to processing schedules and extreme weather. When you commit to a CSA or subscription, it gives us the financial predictability we need to plan production more efficiently:
- We know how many animals to raise.
- We can forecast inventory to keep the cuts you love in stock.
This reduces waste, lowers risk, and helps us operate at a level of precision that’s good for both the environment and the animals in our care.
Lower Risk, Better Decisions
In a traditional sales model, demand can spike or dip based on market trends, which forces farms to make short-term decisions that aren’t always aligned with long-term soil health or regenerative goals. Your upfront support through a CSA or subscription smooths out those highs and lows, giving us room to breathe and focus on quality rather than just quantity.
Reinvestment in Regenerative Practices
- We use the consistent income from CSA shares and subscriptions to:
- Rotate animals across pasture to build soil fertility
- Improve infrastructure that supports animal health and land management
- Invest in natural systems
- Pay our team fairly and keep skilled hands on the farm
All of this contributes to the long-term vitality of the farm—something that benefits everyone who eats from it.
A Closer Connection to Your Food
These models also create a stronger link between you and the food on your plate. You know where it came from, who raised it, and how it was produced. And we know who we’re growing for—which motivates us to do it with care, transparency, and intention.
