Yokna(patawpha) Bottoms Farm is a new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm eight miles south of Oxford. A CSA is the perfect opportunity to utilize local land for food production, helping to encourage sustainable agricultural practices and provide a center for community agricultural, educational, and artistic activity.
Members who become involved in this new CSA will earn shares through volunteering to work on the farm and/or providing much needed resources (loaning or donating a tractor, fencing material, manure, compost). The current plan is to devote 50% of all produce to sell at (and support) local Farmers Markets in Taylor, Oxford, and Water Valley. The proceeds from the sale of this produce will be used to finance farm operations. The remaining 50% will be divided into equal shares to be distributed to Yocna Bottoms members.
Learn more and take a walking tour of the property, or just show your support for sustainable farming practices on Friday, February 12th between 4:00-6:00 PM when a walking tour will be given at 4:30 followed by a brief presentation. Interested parties are welcome to visit at any time to walk around on their own.
