The Red Moon Farm CSA Scholarship Program

The Red Moon Farm CSA Scholarship Program

You remember what C.S.A. stands for, right? Community. Supported. Agriculture.

Being a part of a CSA means that you’ve joined with your local community members to financially support local farming, and in return, you receive a fresh share of the harvest each week of the cleanest, healthiest produce around with which you can nourish your families. You’ve been with us for a while now, you get it!

The community has been incredibly supportive of us, and we want to support our local community, too.

Being a part of the CSA is more than veggies. And if you’ve experienced it you know this to be true! It’s so different than picking up a few things from the produce isle of the grocery store.  It’s rewarding for adults and kids alike as you get to know what grows in our region, understand our climate, have opportunities to come out to the farm.

We want more people to experience this CSA who may not financially be able to.

In East Texas, both in Tyler and in our rural areas, many folks struggle. Large segments of the community are food insecure.  Programs like WIC, SNAP, and numerous local food banks help alleviate a bit of the strain, and Red Moon Farm wants to help, too.

The Red Moon Farm CSA is uniquely suited to offer something more than food for families in our community: fresh, nutrient dense, educational, local, and with neighborhood delivery.  We’ve been approached with generosity from our first sponsor, and we are ready to begin our scholarship program!

Local East Texans + with some amount of need = One CSA share + for the Spring 2017 season.

Those who apply and are accepted will receive a season-long membership to the CSA and a weekly share of the harvest.  We have 5 East Texas locations for delivery of the shares, so we are seeking people near those locations to apply.

  • Van, TX
  • Lindale, TX
  • The Azalea District in Tyler
  • Troup and the Loop in Tyler
  • Southwest Tyler on Old Jacksonville Rd.

You’ll find out more by clicking on the link  below to access the application and see all the details.  You can also read more about our CSA and what it’s like to receive a share by checking out our “How It Works” page! It’s a great idea to familiarize yourself with our CSA before submitting your interest in the scholarship.

If you or someone you know would love to be a part of this Scholarship program, please encourage them to fill out our quick application! Please help us spread the word! The deadline for application submissions is April 14th.

P.S. As of today, we have the sponsorships needed to get started for the first family or individual, but we are excited at the potential for growth! If you would like to help us sponsor more shares for more people, reach out to us by email at Jessica@redmoonfarmtx.com.
