Workplace CSA Program
Bachman Auto Group is excited to offer a workplace CSA (community supported agriculture) pickup with Barr Farms for the upcoming growing season. Employees interested in signing up for a bi-weekly or weekly vegetable or meat share can select the worksite CSA pickup to access local, certified organic produce and pasture-raised meats every Tuesday from May through October.

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
​
A local food subscription where members receive regular deliveries of seasonal produce (vegetables and some fruits) or meats for 24 weeks during the main growing season (May - October).
​
A model of buying food focused on building community. A participant pays for a share in advance and becomes an important part of the farm for the whole season.
​
A farm box or basket of in-season items grown by Kentucky farmers. The items in a share are harvested at their peak ripeness to maximize their flavor and quality.
​
