Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Options
A CSA is essentially a partnership between a community and a farm. By paying a one-time subscription fee, members will enjoy a weekly box of vegetables for the duration of the growing season (25 weeks). This system benefits members and farmers alike. Members will relish the experience of eating new, unique veggies within their corresponding season, having a deeper understanding of Central Illinois agriculture, and learning about and supporting local food in a community environment.
Full Season Shares
Peoria Riverfront Full CSA Share: $450 for 20 weeks of delicious vegetables that can feed 3-4 people a week depending on how much you cook.
East Peoria Full CSA Share: $550 for 25 weeks of delicious vegetables that can feed from 3-4 people a week depending on how much you cook. We also have a payment plan that allows you to pay $275 now and $275 at the first pick-up.
East Peoria Half CSA Share: $330 for 13 weeks of vegetables. Pick up full CSA share biweekly. This option is good for folks who don't cook as much, are experimenting with the CSA, or don't have time to pick up every week but still want consistent local food.
