A full-time farmer manages the garden using sustainable practices that are in harmony with the living process of the soil. We don't use synthetic or chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Organizational responsibilities are over-seen by a Core Group of volunteers. Shares of the Garden's harvest are sold to area families and individuals who are interested in obtaining fresh produce and who support the principles of Community Supported Agriculture.

 

What’s included in a Share?

On average, a weekly Share provides two adults with a vegetable-loving diet or a vegetable-supplemented diet for a family of four.

How long is the harvest season?
The season starts mid-May and goes through mid-November, depending on growing conditions.

How is the produce distributed?
Shareholders are assigned a pick-up day, either Tuesday or Friday at the farm. The freshly harvested produce is available for pick-up at the garden barn between 2PM-7PM. (Some crops are pick-your-own.)

We also offer a St. Louis pick-up option at Garden Heights Nursery every Saturday morning from 7am until 9am. Please note that there is a delivery fee of $25 for the St. Louis pick-up option.

 

How much does it cost?

 A Full Share with weekly distribution is $550. ($575 for St. Louis pick-up)

 An Alternate Share, distributed every other week, is $300. ($325 for St. Louis pick-up)

What is the "community" aspect of the farm?

Shareholders are asked to volunteer three hours a month to support the “community” aspect of the garden.

A wide range of volunteer activities are needed and include both outside farm work and "behind the scenes" work. Some of our volunteer tasks include planting, weeding, harvesting, farm maintenance, and grant-writing, membership support, publicity and website maintenance.
