Community Supported Agriculture
Joining our CSA is one of the most meaningful ways in which you can support local farmers from a variety of backgrounds. From each CSA Share sold, Big River Farms gives a percentage directly to each farmer and the remainder is used provide shared resources in order to support the growth of local farm businesses, including access to land and infrastructure, training, marketing support and distribution channels.
Sign-ups for 2020 shares will be available soon! Contact Eric at [email protected] or 651-433-3676 if you have any questions.

Being a member of a CSA connects you with the highs and lows of farm life. Depending on the season, some vegetables will be in abundance, while other veggies may have lower yields. Your CSA share will reflect what eating with the seasons truly means. You can take a look at Minnesota Grown’s “What’s in Season”chart here.
