Sign up for The Little Muddy Summer/Fall Vegetable CSA is now available. Prepayment is accepted by check at this time. The amount for our 2009 Summer CSA Farm Fresh Produce Share is $375 prepaid and consists of a fifteen week period from June 19 through September 25. The Little Muddy works with local family farms to bring freshly harvested organic crops to your table. Our Farm Shares delivery service means you can participate in a CSA and support local farms without having to drive to a pick-up location. You can now enjoy weekly (in spring/summer/fall) or monthly (in winter) deliveries of organic and naturally grown produce from a small local farm directly to your door. With The Little Muddy community supported agriculture (CSA), you become a "member" of the farm for the season and you receive a delivery of your portion of the farm’s harvest. As the season progresses, the harvest changes so you continue to taste and discover new food throughout the season. Members are updated with an email newsletter with information and farm reports. Currently we only deliver in the Johnson County Kansas area. Share Holders outside this area will pickup on Saturdays at 2nd & Douglas between 7:00 am and 10:00 am. Your Farm Share will also include easy-to-follow recipes so that you can learn to cook the food we deliver.

More About Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

CSA is a unique approach to bringing farms and families together for great food and to support small local farms and sustainable agriculture. Members of the farm pledge in advance to cover the anticipated costs of the farm operation. In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty throughout the growing season, as well as the satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and their food supply. Members also share in the risks of farming, including unfavorable weather or pests. By selling directly to a community of members who have provided the farmer with working capital in advance, farmers gain some financial security in an uncertain time and are relieved of much of the burden of marketing. For the farmer, it means having the resources to buy seed and equipment and the time to do what they love to do – farm! For you, a whole season of great food and a direct connection to its source. We like to think of it as doing good by eating better. What’s in a CSA Share: Shares are designed for 1-2 adults who love vegetables or a family with small children. Vegetarian or larger families often purchase two shares. While quantity depends on what is being harvested on the farm each week, each weekly vegetable share generally includes 6-8 varieties and up to a half bushel of fresh vegetables, with many different delicious varieties including outstanding heirloom types not available in stores. Fruit shares contain 1-3 items each week. Egg shares include 1 dozen pasture-raised, hand-collected organic eggs with each weekly box. Winter shares also contain eggs and other farm-made products in addtional to vegetables.
