Local vegetable subscription (CSA)

The Backbone of Local Food

Deliveries begin in June. In the meantime, you can find our produce at Dream Port Harvest Market, or at the Port Washington Winter Market.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, which is our specialty. We strive for the best quality, quantity, and diversity of veggies in each box, regardless of size. We like to coordinate certain items together during their harvest period, like basil and tomato or dill and cucumber. Check out our produce guide to see a full list of items we offer, seasonal availability, nutritional and cultural information, and how to use and store each crop.

We believe that food is the Earth’s love language to our bodies. Food that’s fresh, local, and organic does more than support good health. It helps people find belonging within the seasonal rhythm, a sense of place, and community that celebrates it.

Our job as farmers is to translate that language as clearly as possible, and tend the Earth to keep it flowing.

Your job, however, may be most essential of all: receiving the food and transforming it into nourishment for your table. Learning how to plan your meals to fit the season we’re in. Meeting the Earth halfway by trying things that grow well in your area, that you may not have seen in stores or on menus. You make small local farms like ours viable through your commitment.

When you become a CSA member, you own a share of the season’s harvest. You pay for that share up front, which helps us cover the costs we have at the beginning of the season, such as seeds, tools, compost, labor, and equipment.

Our members have access to financial aid through our partnership with Fairshare Coalition. Apply for their Partner Shares program here.

When you let us be your farmer, we will guide you through a hands-on experience of the seasonal parade of veggies, fruits, and herbs straight from the land where you live. With over 10 years of experience, each CSA box we provide is carefully curated to inspire your local foods journey all season long.

Sign up early ☀️

You can sign up as long as shares are still available, but space is limited, so don’t miss out! Our CSA is likely to fill up before the growing season begins. You can pay in full for the season, or choose to pay in 2 or 4 installments.

Reduced food waste. Thanks to the CSA model, we are able to plan and distribute our crops so efficiently that on-farm waste is minimized compared to a farmer’s market model or a wholesale model.

Best value. You won’t find these prices for organic certified locally grown produce through any other market channel. We treat the dollar value of each box as a baseline, and often add extra items when we have them. 

Flexibility. With a variety of share options, vacation holds, payment plans, and financial assistance, we work directly with our members to ensure a smooth, accessible, and convenient experience. 

Reduced plastic. Our food comes in a reusable wax box that gets returned every week, and all except necessary items are free of single use plastic.

Support local. Becoming a CSA member empowers you play an active role in building a resilient local food system for the Greater Milwaukee area.

REAL organic. Unlike the majority of grocery store “organic” brands, Winterspring Farm is double-certified by the Real Organic Project and MOSA. We use regenerative and sustainable growing practices to protect biodiversity, prevent erosion, and keep the watershed clean. 

CSA Share Sizes & Partners

The great majority of vegetables, fruit, and herbs are grown on our organic local farm. Add-on shares are produced by our partner farmers, as described below. There may be times when we need to purchase items from another local organic farm to fill your box — for instance crop failure, extreme weather events, or simply not having the right soil for sustainably producing a certain crop (like potatoes). When we buy in an item in the box, it’s noted in the newsletter. All of our partner farms are vetted by us, organically certified, and are local small businesses like ours. This allows us to offer the best variety possible, while supporting the greater community of local growers.

Perfect for feeding households of 1-3 people. When you subscribe, you can choose whether to pick up every week or every other week.

Our most popular option, the Small Share consists of a box filled with 9 -12 seasonal staples, like cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, herbs, and lettuce.

Available every Thursday (20 deliveries) or every other Thursday (10 deliveries) from June to October.

This share will rarely incorporate specialty produce like kohlrabi, fennel or frisée, and one bunch of herbs as opposed to two in the larger share. For more adventurous veggies and/or a larger quantity of staples, check out our larger boxes!

This size option is perfect for feeding households of 3-5 people. When you subscribe, you can choose whether to pick up every week or every other week.

Our Large Share is filled with a wide variety of 12-18 fresh seasonal vegetables, including summer staples like cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce, as well as more exotic items like fennel, kohlrabi, frisée, and eggplant. Two bunches of herbs are included as well.

Available every Thursday (20 deliveries) or every other Thursday (10 deliveries) from June-October.

We encourage our veggie enthusiasts, bigger households, and more adventurous eaters to try this option.

Enjoy all the late fall storage crops for the holiday season.

This share option consists large size boxes (enough for 3-5 people) filled with storage crops like winter squash, parsnips, onions, carrots, potatoes, and sweet winter greens. You’ll pick up your share every other Thursday (3 total deliveries) from October to November.

The final box will be ready for pickup on the Monday before Thanksgiving.

Our partnership with other local veggie growers benefits our members by providing insurance that the diversity and quality of the produce they receive is stellar every time. This helps address two major pinch points that any small farm is bound to struggle with:

• Crop loss. Farms are natural systems, and crops sometimes fail. Pests, diseases, weather events, infrastructure failure, fires, or other accidents can and do impact a farm’s productivity. While we can’t always anticipate when these things will happen, we have built a network of local farmers that we can call on to make sure our members don’t absorb that loss. Resilience is key.

• Land capacity. Over the years that we have been growing on this land, we have learned a lot about what we can and can’t grow here. When we focus on the crops that work well on the land we have, we are acting as better stewards of the soil and preventing waste.

These partnerships also benefit those growers and their families by providing an additional market channel and supporting their viability as a business.

Our partner farms include:

• Red Door Family Farm

• Steadfast Acres

• Springdale Farm

• Igl Farms LLC
