Jacob Springs Farm grows vegetables mainly for their own use aside from a few key crops per year. Additional stuff is grown in the greenhouse Whereas a vegetable CSA requires a great variety of veggies - Jacob Springs chooses instead to focus on a small number (less than half a dozen) of key crops per year – for 2016 that is garlic, salad greens, and herbs.
