Join us as we celebrate our 10th year as a CSA!
Become part of a community of families who know their farmer, and know how and where their food is grown. At Green Earth Farm we provide healthy, delicious, organically grown produce and honey for our CSA members and for the community. Many of you want the benefits of a CSA: local farm, fresh picked daily, and organically grown...but vacation plans, kids summer activities and other time constraints make a CSA not right for you. Now you can still buy your organic produce - when the timing is right for you - from a local farmer. The farm stand is here at the farm, near the road, so you can drive up, select your produce, weigh it, pay for it and be on your way.
We farm using traditional sustainability practices. We plant over 100 different varieties of vegetables and herbs to create the ultimate tasty medley of produce for the season. Our seeds are heirloom varieties (the kind your grandparents grew), and all are certified organic.
Education is a key element in being a CSA member. From our weekly e-newsletters to local presentations, we want to educate our community on the importance of supporting local farmers - not only for the health (and taste) benefits to consumers, but for the survival of an American tradition that is in danger of becoming extinct at the hands of the huge agri-corps. It's time to get back to our agricultural roots!
8308 Barnard Mill Rd., Richmond, IL (at the farm). Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from noon until sunset. Farm stand is unmanned, serve yourself, honor system payment. We are always on the premises, so you can call us at 815-351-6357 if you have any questions about the produce available.
I found out about Green Earth Farm very late in the season, but was warmly welcomed and time was taken to educate me and assist me in every way possible.
The produce that has been coming home with me has been varied and very good.... [more]
I subscribe to Green Earth Farm each year because I love the fresh produce, but it's much more than that. There is a sense of community in connecting to Scott and Kathy and their family, along with the other subscribers.... [more]
I am returning to this CSA for the third year because I love the vegetables and the fact that they are organically grown. The boxes are generously filled and it is a blast to go each week to find out what fresh ingredients I will be cooking with for the next several days.... [more]
