  • A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) food share is a program where individuals or families purchase a "share" of a local farm's harvest in advance, typically at the beginning of the growing season. In return, they receive a regular supply of fresh, seasonal produce throughout the growing season, usually on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. This direct relationship between the community and farmers allows for mutual support and benefits to both parties: consumers receive a variety of fresh, locally-grown produce at a discounted price while supporting the farm’s sustainable farming practices and the local economy.

  • Support the Mission of Inclusion: People of all abilities are the growers behind the weekly produce.

    The apprentices in our “Ready Set” programs find a unique community at Homesteads and learn critical skills by participating in the various activities of farming. They put seeds in trays in the greenhouse, transplant seedlings, weed between rows of vegetables, and harvest the final product that ends up in your home. Their growth in independence and ability will allow them to succeed in the rest of their lives.

    Revenue from the CSA Membership also goes directly into the eventual independent paid employment of “work ready” apprentices, like Steve Voelkl, the first hire out of our apprentice program. Support from CSA members means the world to people like Steve, who can earn money for their skills. He is proud of his job and what he can accomplish through it.
