Beneficial Farm
Beneficial Farms CSA operates year round. It is a collaborative CSA distributing food from more than 40 different farms. Members have a farmer's market style pick-up in five locations on Thursdays and Fridays.
The CSA is a great way to receive fresh local food and support regional farms all year. Fruit may include peaches, grapes, melons and pomegranates. Vegetables include salad and cooking greens, tomatoes, onions, carrots, spinach and many more. There is also an online marketplace where members can order 20 additional items each week, including peanut butter, jam, pinto beans, honey and more.Any unclaimed food goes directly to Kitchen Angels or Bienvenidos while it is fresh.
Mesa Top Farm, the founding Beneficial Farm, is a Biodynamic farm focusing on Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). We also work with 40 other regional farms as a cooperative CSA. Mesa Top Farm offers community living for co-workers and apprentices. The farm is on an off-the-grid homestead on 800 acres at 7,000 feet elevation in the Pinon-Juniper ecosystem of Northern New Mexico. We utilize rainwater catchment, photovoltaic electricity, drip irrigation, and wastewater recycling to create a resource conscious farm setting. Most of the land is forest and wilderness. We produce our vegetables and eggs using a small part of the total farm acreage. We are working toward the goal of an integrated farm individuality, including diverse livestock, annual and perenial crops.
