greens, eggs & ham futures:
A prepayment plan
Greens, Eggs & Ham Futures is a flexible, year round alternative to CSA that reflects the unique nature of our business.
Small, non – conventional farms such as ours have great difficulties accessing the capital to operate and grow our businesses despite the ever increasing market demand. This is because we do not fit the conventional “lending boxes” of agricultural, business or personal lenders. Agricultural lenders do not even consider DUCKS – our specialty, as agricultural products! Ariana, our older daughter who runs Ariana’s Farm Fresh Fowl is also unable to access the financial resources to produce her much sought after free range turkeys and Cornish game hens.
By participating in Greens Eggs & Ham Futures, you contribute directly to our growth and development. Your Prepayment Pledge will provide us with the operating capital we need to purchase essential items such as seed, feed, chicks and ducklings that we raise, drip irrigation, row cover and mulches to extend the growing season, and to hire labour to produce excellent crops.

- you get to know where your food comes from and who produces it
