General Information

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) helps connect people directly to the farmers growing their food. It gives the opportunity to invest in the work of 5 Loaves Farm in the community, as well as help guarantee funds needed to start growing each year and reserve farm fresh produce for throughout the season.

Members purchase one of three membership levels and receive a digital gift card, pre-loaded with the amount they choose for use at the 5 Loaves Farm stand, as well as a welcome basket and access to seasonal member-only farm stand specials. Members choose the items they want, the amount they want, and which weeks they come to the farm stand.

5 Loaves Farm Stand

Our CSA season includes approximately 15 weeks of farm stand shopping from late June through early October. 

The farm stand offers a variety of seasonal farm fresh produce, in addition to market items like flowers, coffee, meat, and bread.

The farm stand is on Thursdays from 4-7 pm @ 70 W. Delavan Ave.

CSA Memberships

There are 3 membership levels available: $100, $200, and $400. These memberships average to about $6, $13, and $27 to spend per farm stand. However, there is no restriction on how or when members actually use their membership amount.
