Description

Turtle Creek Gardens CSA offers a diversity of high quality, nutritionally dense, seasonal vegetables from early June until mid-October, ensuring your access to produce grown in a healthy, sustainable manner. Our Full Share typically feeds a family of four, while our Every-Other-Week Share targets couples or lighter-eaters. The season begins on the lighter side with a variety of spring greens, lettuces, spinach, asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, radishes, scallions, and so on, and ends in October with a healthy abundance of summer and fall produce such as summer and winter squash, tomatoes, peppers, greens, potatoes, onions, raspberries, currants, pears, root vegetables, and herbs.

Nestled in the Turtle Creek Watershed just north of Delavan, Turtle Creek Gardens is a CSA vegetable farm managed by Janet Gamble (Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, East Troy). Janet has run a CSA since 1993 and has over 30 years experience growing produce and educating others in vegetable production.

Turtle Creek Gardens proudly offers high quality, nutritionally dense, seasonal vegetables grown on organic or transitioning-to-organic land, using sustainable farming practices that care for the soil, ground water, and adjacent natural areas. We use no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides on our farm. Our food is available through CSA, with weekly pick-ups at Turtle Creek Gardens in Delavan, at Michael Fields Agricultural Institute in East Troy, in Oconomowoc, Lake Geneva, Burlington, Waterford, Libertyville, Union Grove, Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Wauwatosa.
