2008 CSA Share Details

We are offering two types of produce shares, a Standard Market Share for those finicky eaters, and an Epicurean Share. The shares will be available in two sizes, a full share and a half share. A full share typically satisfies the needs of two vegetarians or four people of mixed diet. Your weekly box will have an assortment of Leaf crops, fruiting vegetables, root vegetables, onion crops and herbs. Please see our vegetable calendar for expected harvest dates. You will also receive a weekly news letter explaining what is in the box, along with recipes, and a brief to what is happening on the farm.

New This Year: Certified Organic Fruit Share Program

Because our farm is located in the Midwest, there is a limited amount of fruit we can grow and offer to you. New this year you will be able to purchase fruit grown by family farms like ours. We are collaborating with a very reputable wholesale organic produce distributor. This local company is family owned and seeks out only the best fruit. They are doing their part to reduce fossil fuels by seeking out the most local organic growers. Please see the Fruit Order Form.
