CSA FAQs
What is community supported agriculture?
CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes the community's farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production…
Members pledge in advance to cover the anticipated costs of the farm operation. In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production

What do I get with a share?
Every week we’ll fill a box with seasonal vegetables and herbs harvested directly from our farm and deliver it to you. Generally this is 8-10 items for full/half shares and 5 items for small shares. Most full share boxes will be good for 3-4 people cooking regularly or sometimes even just 1 vegetable enthusiast - if your household has less than this, consider splitting with a neighbor/friend/family. Half shares and small shares serve smaller households as well. Here’s some samples of what might come in full shares throughout the season:
Week 4: Kale, Kohlrabi, lettuce mix, garlic scapes, basil, snap peas, carrots, lettuce head, Green onion
Week 8: Rainbow chard, cucumbers, Summer squash, beans, cabbage, green onion, tomato, parsley
Week 12: beets, arugula, red onion, tomato, cilantro, pepper, cucumbers, cherry tomato, radish
Week 20: Carrots, Shallots, celeriac, potato, garlic, winter squash, ground cherry, dill
Can I choose what’s in my box?
At this time, we don’t offer customized boxes, but we will be sure to include recipes and information about the different items so you can fully enjoy everything in the box! The one exception is that if you have any allergies, please contact us or make a note when you sign up
What if I can’t pick up my box?
If you can’t pick up your box, please give us 48 hours notice and we will make arrangements. Forgotten boxes will be donated after 48 hours.
Can i labor trade for my csa share?
Yes you can. Please send us a message directly to sign up for our Workshare Program. It’s 4 hours per week for a full share or 2 hours for a half/small share. This can also be divvied up amongst your household. Tasks are mostly harvesting, weeding, mulching and CSA box packing. Lunch is provided on work days. There are lots of other ways to arrange a labor trade as well, check out a list of opportunities on our Get Involved page. We especially love when people cook lunch for us in exchange for their share!
Where do I get my CSA box?
You can choose to either pick up your box at one of our 4 locations - Capitol Dr., Wauwatosa, Sheboygan or our farm.
What is a Half Share?
Half shares are the same sized box as a full share (8-10 items) except it only comes 10 weeks of the season - every other week instead of the usual 20 consecutive weeks
What is a Small share?
Small shares are a smaller box of vegetables than a full share and come the usual 20 consecutive weeks. These typically have 5 items rather than 8-10.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can cancel your share at any time. The way the CSA model works, though, we will not be able to provide any refunds because we rely on your advance funding to operate our farm throughout the season. If you would no longer like to receive your share, just get in touch.
When will I get my boxes?
Our CSA season runs from June to October. Pick up and drop off days will be every Tuesday. You can pick up between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm. There may be more specifics depending on the pick-up location - we’ll keep you informed ahead of time
Can I change my pick up or delivery options?
Yes, just notify us at least 48 hours in advance and we can take your box to a different pick up site or directly to a new address you provide us with
Can I come help out on the farm?
Yes, definitely! There are lots of ways to volunteer with us - we have group work days, worker share options and all sorts of other things going on…check out the Get Involved links located around the site to learn more, or just send us an email or drop us a line, we’d be happy to hang with you sometime 🌱🌳🐛🦋✨
