Peasant's Plot is a 20-acre plot of land, some acreage in cover crop, some in vegetables, some occupied by buildings and/or skateboard ramps. The farm is mostly a CSA farm, welcoming new members every year. No synthetic chemicals are used on the farm and fertility is in the form of compost and nitrogen-fixing legume crops. We have a worker share program in which members put in labor hours across 5 months for an Individual Share of vegetables.

Our first CSA with Todd and Julia was absolutely wonderful! I wouldn't trust my curly kale, chard, and purple potatoes to anyone else. They are such great farmers and even better people.... [more]
We shopped at the Peasants' Plot weekly at the Lincoln Square Farmers Market in the summer 2008 and enthusiastically joined their CSA in 2009 (we are renewing for 2010).... [more]
I've been stopping to buy from Julia every Sunday for the past two summers, and she always has a smile and a recipe idea to share. Their produce is fantastic and I'm so excited to be part of their CSA this year!
To all city dwellers: We are looking for market helpers and members of our "Urban Guerrilla Marketing Team!" This is a version of our worker share program that does NOT require a commute to the farm. Contact us if you are interested in helping canvas Chicago neighborhoods with fliers or help out at market. If you are more interested in actual farm work, please do contact us about that, too! Worker shareholders typically exchange hours for a full or partial CSA share
