A CSA is essentially a partnership between a community and a farm. By paying a one-time subscription fee, members will enjoy a weekly box of vegetables for the duration of the growing season (25 weeks). This system benefits members and farmers alike. Members will relish the experience of eating new, unique veggies within their corresponding season, having a deeper understanding of Central Illinois agriculture, and learning about and supporting local food in a community environment.

Upon completion of the CSA Sign Up Form and payment, a member will receive a Down River Farm canvas bag full of vegetables at the first pickup. In subsequent weeks, your shares will be loaded into paper bags with your name on them.

By purchasing a CSA you are voting for good, clean, nutritious food grown by people who care more about you and the land than any food advertiser or CEO. You are voting to keep your dollars in the local economy.
