Inland Empire CSA
Why Organic?
The term organic refers not to the food itself,
but to how it is produced. Organic foods are
grown without the use of synthetic pesticides
and fertilizers. In California, organic produce is
certified in accordance with the California
Certified Foods Act of 1990.
Why choose organically grown foods? Many studies have
proven that organically grown foods are more nutritious, and
they just taste better. Organic farming methods help to protect
the environment in which we live.

Why a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture is a concept that attempts
to bring people closer to their food source through a
relationship with their local farmer. People from the
community directly support the CSA farm by purchasing, in
advance, a portion of the farm's annual harvest. Seasonal,
fresh, organic produce is delivered weekly to a site within the
community for pickup.
The farm provides for the community's need for fresh,
nutritious, safe food and the support of the community allows
a farmer to devote his/her energies to gentle, conscientious
and sustainable farming practices.
Our CSA is unique because we combine two farms, Sage
Mountain Farm and De Luz Farms and Nursery, each with their
own different growing climates and products. This gives our
CSA a much better selection all year round.
