As we approach the Fourth of July holiday weekend, it feels fitting to reflect on what our CSA represents. At its heart, Community Supported Agriculture is a quiet act of independence: a local, people-powered alternative to the industrial food system. By supporting a farm like Mountain Bounty, you’re choosing real relationships over convenience, quality over quantity, and community resilience over corporate profit. The spirit of cooperation and self-reliance is alive and well right here on the farm.
This idea of creating an alternative social system was a major part of what drew me to farming. While I loved the challenge and magic of growing vegetables, I was never interested in growing produce to sell at "x price per pound", hopelessly competing with giant industrialized farms. The possibility of an economy that was more about building community, about working outside the system, outside the race to the bottom of the “market,” was, and still is, the driving force behind Mountain Bounty. What if a group of farmers put all their passion and skill into growing the best possible food, and at the same time a group of community members committed to supporting that farm?
This direct connection is what it's all about, that’s what makes Mountain Bounty unique. We’re not a convenient app, an online meal kit, or any of the plethora of other greenwashing that’s out there these days, we’re the real thing.
Thanks for your support,
John Tecklin
