Hello and thank you for your inquiry about Organic Produce Shares at M’s Organic Farm where we support a Cruelty Free Animal Environment
We specialize in Greens(Greens, Arugala, Spinach,& more ), expect them in every box

We also grow onion, jalapenos, Peppers, Basil,Oregano,Potatos, Dill, Thyme, Cilantro, Garlic, Pole or String Beans, Eggplant, Radish, Carrot, Beet, Specialty Squashes,Pumpkins, Cuks, Winter Squash and of course Tomatoes. You can expect to see any and all of these in your box(seasonal) Each week you will be emailed an explanation of items in the box and probably a recipe or two. You may occasional receive(unless you request otherwise) our famous Cinnamon Almond Raisin Granola or one of our Pestos.
Your Final CSA share usually includes some things for the winter such as dried herb packs.
Many people don’t understand how farming works. Your weekly box will contain whatever skill and Mother Nature can provide at that time. $25.00 of Veggies will supplement a meat eaters dining or provide a lot for a Vegan. NEW Half Shares $15.00.
By prepaying for the year you are assured a subscription of whatever is growing that week for 18 weeks. In other words, if you are looking for tomatoes in June, You won’t see them. No one has tomatoes in Illinois in June. But you will, perhaps, find: radish, beets, onion, garlic, spinach, always, a mix of greens, fresh herbs. The greens are always there and whatever else is growing. You will have many recipes and suggestions on cooking and eating Greens.
We try to make it as varying and interesting and healthy as Mother Nature allows. I hope this helps.

I get excited when some new friend asks about the CSA, All things Organic program!! It means folks are getting the idea that Organic & Locally grown food has so much more energy than “other” produce. It’s good to see people taking care of themselves, the environment and their families. We know that it may be easier to go to the local superstore. Just like we know it is easier to gas and spray our food but we choose not to
Our promise to you is that we will provide high quality produce, raised in Organic farming practices with the highest respect for all living things and to try to make you happy. Thank you for blessing us with your order!
