Description

Shares include an assortment of tasty, sustainably grown vegetables, herbs, and melons as they mature throughout an 18-week season. We grow a large selection of produce, the majority of which are heirloom varieties selected for their unique flavors and appearances.

The share size will vary throughout the season based upon crop yields and seasonality. A full share should provide for the vegetable needs of a family of four (two adults/two children). Or a vegetarian couple.

The share cost is typically paid prior to the start of the growing season to provide working capital for the cost of seeds, supplies, and equipment repairs. We will again offer an installment option this year as well. For those able to pay the share cost in full, we ask that you do so by April 1st. For those paying by installments, we will have three due dates during the season.

Shares may be picked up here at the farm or at designated drop-sites which will be determined based upon shareholder locality.

Prairie Harvest Farm grows an assortment of vegetables, herbs, fruit, and flowers on 1.5 acres. The majority of our produce are heirloom varieties, all of which are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers.

We seek to provide fresh, healthy produce to the surrounding community, while stewarding our land and promoting sustainable agriculture. Our mission is to protect and maintain the sustainability of the farm as a whole; the soil, water, air, landscape, plants, animals, and people.

We will be expanding our CSA for the 2011 season and will likely no longer be attending local farmers' markets. Please contact us to inquire about becoming shareholders for the 2011 season.
