Community Supported Agriculture

from Grounded Earth Farm & Five Hands Farm

Our CSA members are always top priority, and our CSA program represents the very best our farms have to offer. In collaboration with friends at Five Hands Farm, our members enjoy a regular assortment of fresh, flavorful, locally grown produce. We offer an extensive variety, including many gourmet items you won't find in the supermarket. From classic lettuce mix, to heirloom tomatoes, sweet salad turnips and beyond, there’s always something fun and delicious in the box!

  • You become a member of the farm! CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture—a farmer-to-family relationship that’s been around for centuries. People buy "shares" of a farm's harvest in advance and then receive a portion of the crops as they're harvested. This upfront payment provides the farmer an immediate income to begin the season and allows the farmer to concentrate on good land stewardship, growing high quality food especially for you.

    1. Get to know your farmers and talk with those that grew your food.

    2. You get organically grown, chemical free produce

    3. Weekly newsletter with information about what produce you're receiving and how to prepare it.

    4. CSA Facebook Group member so you can share with other CSA members.

    5. Join us for picnics and dinners on the farm.

    6. Locally grown in NW Indiana. Supporting local small businesses encourages local jobs, enhances diversity, strengthen local networks, and boosts environmental sustainability.

    7. Purchasing a share will save you $$ on your grocery bill later in the year since you're buying in advance and in bulk.

    8. You'll receive super fresh vegetables - as in harvested within hours of you picking up!

    9. You'll create less waste and less fossil fuels.  Our vegetables travel less than 50 miles to the pickup locations compared to the average 1500 miles vegetables travel to your plate. n text goes here
