Welcome to Rocky Acres Veggie and Flower Farm 

This is our third growing season here at Rocky Acres Farm with offering a CSA to our community, though we have been growing for many more seasons than that in a few different climates. We learned a lot these last few seasons about growing in the Midwest and are excited to continue the CSA this year. We are working to hone in on what grows best in our area and do more of that. That means we will have a few less types of flowers and veggies this year, but hopefully more of those varieties that do really well here.

We plan to continue with many of the changes we made last year that gave our customers more customization and choices for their weekly pickups. Read on for what we are offering for the 2026 season. Our season will be 16 weeks starting mid June. 

Each CSA (community supported agriculture) or farm share will include what we are growing on the farm that week – veggies and fresh flower bouquets. We start the season with cool weather veggies and the flowers join the rotation when they are ready a little later in the season.

We expanded quite a bit last year and now we will focus on refining those areas to use the space to grow the variety of veggies and flowers that have done the best for us the last few years.

In our offerings this year, we plan to have: spring greens, lettuce, peas, broccoli, rhubarb, carrots, potatoes, a variety of green beans, kale, radishes, tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, summer squash, onions, garlic, and winter squash, lots of herbs and weeks of bouquets. 

CSA Options:

There are two options for size this year at Rocky Acres Farm. There is a full sized share and a small share for weekly pickup or delivery. Read more below for what they will include.

We are also offering two ways to get your CSA: pickup at the farm or delivery for an extra fee.

We are encouraging everyone to pick-up at the farm for a few reasons. Pick-ups will be offered choice of what you want to take home. Instead of a prepackaged box where everyone gets the same items, there will be options for what you get to take each week. The choices will look a little different each week with harvest, but if you do not like kale, you can pick something else. Or if you need extra tomatoes, you will be able to take more.

I also put out other goodies I have made. This last year members had choices from canned salsa, green enchilada sauce, rhubarb butter, pickled red onions, refrigerator pickles, and in the freezer – chicken stock packs, kale pucks, mint tea concentrate and more. The choices depend on what I have extras of for the season.

With delivery, you will get a box of all the best that the farm has to offer that week with a variety of items including veggies and flowers. But you will not have a choice in items.

Each week both pickup and delivery will also receive a newsletter. It will explain the produce in your share and ideas of how to store and use what you are getting for the week.

Full Share:

This is the best bang for your buck. 16 weeks of veggies and flowers fresh from the farm. This share is great for larger families, those who love to eat a lot of veggies, or are ready to preserve the bounty. $480 for the season.

Small Share:

This share includes the same items as the full share each week, but in a smaller amount. This is the share for you if your family is 1-2 people, or you want to try out a CSA for the first time. $320 for the season. 

Farm Work Share:

Another option this year will be open for 2-3 families to join our farm work share. You will share in the work of the farm on a weekly basis in exchange for a small share (3 hours) or full share (4 hours). Eggs are included when we have enough. Days for work are Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday from 8-11am or 8-12am. 

Add-ons:

Eggs:

Limited amounts of add-ons available, $80 for the season (1 dozen a week) or $40 (1/2 dozen every week)

Baked Goods:

We have a baked goods ad-on option. $100 for the season. Enjoy a variety of baked goods with your fresh veggie and flower subscription. Flour and sugar are always organic. Most other ingredients are also.

Pickups:

We are moving pickup days this year. We are doing a Wednesday pickup at the farm or Thursday delivery. I can do home deliveries for an additional delivery fee of $80 for the season (you will need to put out a cooler and vase on your front porch if not home). Must be within a certain vicinity for delivery. If interested in delivery, let me know so I can calculate the distance.

Protein Options:

We also raise pastured poultry and meat rabbits at Rocky Acres. If you are interested in reserving whole chicken or rabbit, let us know. We will have multiple times throughout the summer that we have both available. Reserve for $10 deposit each with the remaining paid at pickup. $5 a pound for both with chicken being between 4-6 pounds and rabbits being in the 2-4 pound range. Chickens are fed an all organic diet and raised on pastures, being moved every day.

In the fall we will also be offering pastured pork. More information coming on that soon.
