Farmer Neil
TaylOrganic Farm CSA
- Marietta CSA
- Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a mutually beneficial partnership between a farmer and a community of members. Members purchase shares of the farm and in exchange receive a weekly delivery of fresh locally grown produce as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production. TaylOrganic Farm is a family-owned and operated farm just southeast of the Atlanta perimeter in Henry County, Georgia. Neil and Marcia Taylor along with dedicated local workers grow some of the finest Southern vegetables, figs, and berries in the Southeast. The Chinese Shaolin Center in Marietta is partnering with TaylOrganic Farm in Henry County to receive a weekly delivery of locally grown fruit and vegetables through a CSA program. There are currently 20 members participating in the Marietta CSA program. For more information please send an email to mariettacsa@gmail.com

Volunteering at the Farm
CSA Members are always welcome to visit the farm, but also volunteers are always needed and appreciated. Volunteering is a great way to help support the farm. Please contact Farmer Neil if you are interested in volunteering at the farm, 404-862-9394 or taylorganic@bellsouth.net.
Recycling Boxes and Fruit Baskets
CSA shares arrive in produce boxes. You can bring your own bags or box to take your produce home. If you want to take your produce home in the box that it was delivered in, please bring it back next week for recycling. These are special food grade boxes which cost the farmer around $2 each, so we want to recycle them. We also recycle the fruit baskets. You can bring them back when you are finished with them each week.
