was founded by Dwayne Bauknight and family
in 2008 and is located in Clinton,
Pennsylvania. We are dedicated to generating
positive social change. |

Shared Acres
is not your normal purveyor of produce -- we
grow solely for our shareholders. This
allows us to concentrate on growing healthy,
fresh food, for a fair wage. To put it
simply, the shareholders will have a
dedicated garden for vegetables and also
receive a portion of the fruits, herbs, and
flowers grown throughout Shared Acres. The
gardening technique used is an expansion of
the “gardening by the square foot” method
developed by Mel Bartholomew. This method
takes one fifth the space as the
conventional method of row cropping and also
saves time and energy for tending to the
garden. The generational success our
family has had with this method, as well as
a love of gardening, has inspired us to
create this CSA. |

Shared Acres
will implement biodynamic methods which
integrate common sense agriculture, an
understanding of ecology and the specific
environment of a given commons, with a new
spiritual scientific approach to the
concepts, principles and practices of
agriculture which begins with treating the
soil as a living organism. We are not yet
organically certified but plan to institute
United States Department Agriculture Organic
Standards so that we can be certified. To
achieve organic certification, three years
of documentation and inspections are
required. |
