The Farm and CSA
Anders and Karin have farmed the land of Ramsjögård since the mid-70's. In 1989, we became KRAV-certified and the entire production is now KRAV approved. We grow vegetables, potatoes, and grains. We use a system called CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). CSA started in Japan when a group of women were dissatisfied with the supply of vegetables in the store and turned directly to the farmers who started a local delivery system. In Japanese, this was called Teiki, which means cooperation. Since then, CSA has spread to different parts of the world. The arrangement in a CSA benefits both parties - the farmers have a steady source of income and members can buy locally-grown, organic food without intermediaries. In our CSA, we plan what will be grown during the year with our members. Goods are delivered regularly throughout the year and members are often involved in certain phases of cultivation.
The Produce Baskets
Each basket represents a share in Ramsjö farm's annual production, which means it can look a bit different from year to year.
The produce in each basket depends partly on the wishes of consumers, but is also dependent on weather conditions and other factors that may favor some vegetables more than others.
You can see what kinds of produce are in the baskets on the Product List. We reserve "årsandel" (share of the harvest) for members when you reserve your spot in a group each year.
