Becoming a member of Victory Acres CSA is not quite like going to the supermarket. Most of those vegetables will have traveled over 1,500 miles, and will have been harvested days or even weeks previous. Vegetables grown at Victory Acres are harvested just a few short hours before distribution to our CSA members. The ripeness, the texture, the nutrition, the color, the variety -- there is no comparison! It's Good Food! Then there is the Good Work. Victory Acres is a non-profit, social-enterprise farm. People from our ministry in inner city Indianapolis benefit from the farm. From mentoring troubled teens, to training college interns, to welcoming children's groups, Victory Acres is a place for learning, laughing, and living.

Victory Acres is just a good, old-fashioned farm - like grandpa's! We have cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, brown eggs, 45 varieties of herbs, fruits, and vegetables. We have grass-fed beef and pasture pork shares. We are growing an orchard, a pick-your-own berry section, and over a 1/4 acre of cut flowers. We have trails for hiking, and space to roam. CSA membership is limited to the first 100 shares, and we anticipate a waiting list, so if you are interested, don't wait!
