What is CSA?
A CSA is a partnership between a farm and a community of members who choose to share the risks and enjoy the rewards of the farm.
Here’s how it works: You purchase a “share” of crops, and we provide you with fresh, safe, organiclly grown produce every week.
Because you’re sharing the risks and rewards, you get to experience the ups and downs of the season just like we do. For instance, one season we might have a bumper crop of tomatoes but a poor showing of peppers, so you get plenty of tomatoes and not so many peppers. The next season, carrots may steal the show while baby salad greens do so-so, so you get plenty of carrots and an average amount of salad greens.
Besides the oh-so-tasty veggies, rewards of being a farm member also include access to pick-your-own items, forage items, the beauty of our prairie/wooded walking trail, a children’s play area, invitations to our seasonal farm events, and access to our private CSA Member Facebook group.
