2024 Vegetable CSA
***We're sold out for 2024. Please consider signing up for our newsletter here to follow the growing season this year and be the first to hear about our 2025 CSA (2025 signup likely to open late November/early December 2024).***
Main Veg. CSA Share (SOLD OUT): $324
12 Personalized Boxes, once every two weeks:
Tuesdays starting May 28 and ending October 29
Sundays starting June 2 and ending November 3
Thursdays starting June 6 and ending November 7 (with exception of Wednesday July 3 instead of July 4)
Farm pickup available Tuesdays, Sundays, or Thursdays; aiming to have shares ready by 4pm on the day.
Delivery available Sundays or Thursdays; delivery time will depend on your location on the driving route, likely between 4:30 and 8pm.
No delivery charge pickup sites (5-9pm)
Thursdays: Linden Cohousing (107 Sutherland Court, Madison)
Sundays: CSA Member House (364 Park Ave, Prairie Du Sac)

If you need to miss one week you can move to a different CSA day for that week or we can give you a $27 credit for meat, farmer's market sales or next year's CSA. Any missed boxes after that will be donated to a local food pantry.
Our (aspirational) Veg Plan for the Boxes (from a couple years ago for reference).
We will shoot for each box to average 8-9 items (and sized to be roughly $3.5-4 per item quantities)
This last year we averaged 8.5 items, with the most of the "8 item" boxes happening in the beginning of the year.
Our Preferred Veggie System (fill out just once for the whole year)
A La Carte Boxes (SOLD OUT FOR 2024)
Season-extension, 2 extra boxes: $55
Get a "pre-season" box on May 19 and a "post-season" box on November 10.
Delivery included.
Only an option as an add-on to regular CSA.
Other add-ons are not included (e.g., if you got an egg add-on for the regular season, you won't also get eggs included at this price for the season extension shares).
Pork/Chicken Add-on: $300
An average of at least 3# of pork each CSA delivery and three weeks where we'll include a whole chicken.
Please feel free to state preferences to avoid or include certain cuts and we will do our best to oblige!
(Pork/Chicken products also sold individually here)
Egg Add-on: $66
1 dozen for 12 weeks (limited quantity)
Only available as a standard CSA share add-on
Delivery Add-on: $48 or $72
Composting Add-on: $15 for year
Any member who wants to deliver their own compost directly to our pile on the farm can do so free of charge -- just let us know so we can orient you to where the pile will be this year.
Past Member Discount (any year): -$20
"Seconds" Discount: -$20
Only two offered for each sign up day (Tuesdays, Sundays, Thursdays) -- sign up soon if you're interested
May end up getting only a couple "seconds" all season long or several -- we'll see how things go!
We define seconds as edible, healthy/safe vegetables with some blemishes or vole/bird/insect nibbles, but better than "thirds" which goes to the farmer or other farm animals.
Double Share Discount: -$24
$624 base price instead of $648
Either twice as much on your same day or pick two different days.
Early bird and past member discounts would all be doubled.
Delivery fees, composting add on, egg add on would be doubled (other than a singular delivery and/or composting fee if doubling up on the same delivery day).
Want to pay more?!
If you want to pay more than the cost of the share to ensure our produce can get to people who can't otherwise afford it, we are offering two ways to do so:
FairShare Partner Shares Donation (even $5 dollars can go a long way with this!)...learn more here.
Pay us to grow extra and offset the costs of growing, harvesting, washing, and packing for a local food pantry
Need to pay less?
Sign up for our CSA through the FairShare Partner Shares program. Signup will open January 15.
Other Forms of Exchange:
Barter--let's talk
Worker Share: help out for a four-hour shift and receive that week's box as a thank you. For planning purposes we ask that you commit to a set day/time if you choose this option. Subject to coordination with our schedules.
Curious why we're bothering to farm like this when $1 cheeseburgers exist? Great question! Brad gave some reasons at the bottom of each 2018 newsletter.
