WHAT IS CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's an arrangement in which consumers share the risk of food production with the farmer. You purchase a 20-week subscription of produce at the beginning of the season, and each week you receive a box of fresh, in-season produce. The farmer benefits through the risk-sharing, and you benefit by receiving healthy food while supporting a local farm.

WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING...
““Knowing that I have a box of fresh produce to meal plan around each week is hugely helpful. I also try to buy natural/organic products as often as I can - knowing where my food comes from is so important to me!””
““The quality of the produce is great! Store-bought produce is often disappointing. We got the chance to try some new things. My husband found he really likes acorn squash!””
““We love picking up our box with our kids every week. They love your farm and we love that you take the time to show them the garden, offer them veggies to taste, and let them gather eggs!””
HOW IT WORKS
Check out the CSA Agreement to learn more.
Sign up online or on paper—choose box size and pick up day/location:
Large share: 7-8 different items per week, including 1 or 2 interesting vegetables (asparagus, rainbow carrots, leeks). If you like veggies, enjoy cooking, or have hungry kids at home, you'll want this size!
Small share: 5-6 of the most common garden veggies (no chard or okra here!) each week, in smaller quantities than a large share. If you're single, or a couple with little time to cook, this is a good option.
Monday pick up on farm: Choose this if you like taking veggies to work in your lunch or having healthy snacks for the kids all week long.
Thursday pick up in Beatrice: Don't have time to cook during the week? Pick up Thursday so your produce is fresh for the weekend.
Tuesday delivery (contact us first to see if this is available for your location): If you can’t get to the pick up locations, have your box delivered to your home or office each week.
3. Choose add-on options, like farm-fresh eggs, or 4 extra weeks of spring and/or fall produce.
4. The main CSA season runs from June through mid-October. Read the weekly emails to learn what's in your box and how to cook it.
5. Enjoy your fresh produce and impress your family with delicious meals!
“Aside from the actual produce, the weekly emails were great. If anyone is nervous about the upfront cost, it 100% pays for itself in the fact that for 20 weeks I didn’t have to do any fresh produce purchase planning (aside from a handful of fruit staples and baby carrots for the kids). This made grocery shopping soooo simple: basically just had to make sure I had a variety of proteins on hand and a well-stocked pantry. I did A LOT of simple sheet pan bakes of the veggies. Chopped up whatever you gave me, added oil and seasonings, baked in the oven until tender (or on the grill), served with a brat or other easy summer protein. And the variety you grew got me out of a serious meal rut I’d been in lately.”
