Meet local farmers and learn how you can enjoy fresh produce throughout Iowa’s growing season! A CSA membership provides you with four to five months of delicious, healthy produce. You can become part of a larger community of farmers and consumers where you will find:

• Weekly fresh produce
• Fruits and vegetables in season
• Guaranteed income for farmers
• Proper farmland stewardship

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between local farmers and community members who pay the farmer an annual membership fee to cover the production costs of the farm. In turn, members receive a weekly share of the harvest during the local growing season.
 
In most cases, this commitment implies a willingness to share with the farmer both the bounty from the land and at least some of the risks involved with production. In return for fair and guaranteed compensation, consumers receive a variety of freshly picked (usually organic) vegetables grown and distributed in an economically viable and ecologically responsible manner. As Wendell Berry stated, “how we eat determines to a considerable extent how the world is used.”
