Description

Earth First Farm
Rent A Tree: This is an apple tree rental. You choose the variety - all are certified organic! You pick or we pick. Contact us or see website for variety list. Expect a yield between 80 and 120 pounds in a typical year, although yield will of course vary.

Organic Apple CSA: CSA members receive 75 pounds of certified organic apples and two gallons of our premium apple cider annually. Every two weeks between mid-August and Halloween, each CSA member picks up a 10-pound bag (1 Peck) of certified organic apples of the variety that is ready to pick that week. Pick-ups will be at one of our Chicago weekend farmers markets. There are six biweekly share pickups between mid-August and Halloween, and then a pre-Thanksgiving share pickup in November that includes baking apples and apple cider.

Earth First Farms is a family-owned certified organic fruit and vegetable farm in Southwest Michigan. Located 100 miles from Chicago, we sell our products at Chicago Farm Markets. Current Chicago markets include Edgewater, Logan Square, Rogers Park - Glenwood Sunday Market, and Green City. We are happy to provide opportunities for certified organic U-Pick for apples. Our varieties include McIntosh, Red and Golden Delicious, Jonathon, Paula Red, Empire, Rome and Ida Red. Other varieties in smaller quantities include Mollie's Delicious, Ginger Gold, Jonagold and Winesap. We also offer fresh Apple Cider and other apple products. We offer a tree rental - you can rent a tree of your choice, and we will either harvest and deliver all apples from your tree to you in Chicago or you can come and harvest on your own.
