O'k CSA
Creatively-supported Art & Culture in our Gardens, our Minds, and our Bellies.
Welcome to O'k CSA @ pennyokart.com!
The aim of O'k CSA is to explore and have fun sharing connections between garden-farming and art education, and the practice of ecological design and thinking.
O'k CSA is focused on creatively and intelligently, designing ways to live wisely and well, and that means not just learning the "HOW-to's", but also what it takes and then the doing of it. The focus of our work and passion is teaching, learning, experiencing, making art, community garden-farming and ecological education.
Traverse City's O'k CSA Cooperative is Grow, Grow, Growing!
Need to join a wonderful and very O'k CSA? We invite you to join ours!
I always make some kind of personal wish/intent at the beginning of each growing season, and this year in addition to devoting myself to growing really tasty lettuces for you all, I'm also delving deeper into Bee-land. We are going to work at making sure each one of our garden-farms has an even MORE generous amount of bee-friendly plants flowering all season long! Here's a partial list of common plants we'll be growing and what you'll see some of these in the herb and flower bundles: Giant Hyssop, Cosmos, Sunflower, Mint, Four o'clock, Basil, Rosemary, Mullein, Zinnia, Borage, Cleome, Globe Thistle, Joe-pye weed, Bergamot, Sage, Thyme, Verbena and more...
AND, Here’s the info on our share offerings for 2017, which also will include an art-share now and then:
Summer CSA (12 weeks, June 23-Sept. 16th) $400-All Pay, or $200-Work-Share for season.
