Joy B's Farm (Towaco, NJ 07082-0254) offers 2017 CSA memberships for a flexible range of fees (around $225) for roots and fruit products as well as honey. Additionally, the Farm provides for interested CSA members to engage in cooperative-farming, on several dedicated acres. Each of those cooperative members (or their surrogates) maintains a different food-crop (and a companion plant) - but the entire variety of crops from the group's production is shared by the cooperative members. Also as a collective, chickens for egg production, are maintained with organic feed and organic fruit & vegetable trimmings. For backyard use, "Chicken - Tractor" production workshops are available. For members who wish to board their privately-owned dairy goats, space and fields are offered. In addition to individual members, social and religious groups are invited to participate.
