Community Supported Agriculture
A Farm Share, also known as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), is one of the most direct connections you can have with the food you eat. When you join our Farm Share Program, you become a partner with a network of small, local farms. You purchase a share of the season's harvest upfront, and in return, you receive a regular box of what's freshest and most abundant that week.
This isn't the grocery store model of year-round availability at the cost of flavor and miles traveled. Farm Share produce is harvested days, sometimes hours, before it reaches your hands. The difference in taste is immediate and undeniable.
For the farms, your commitment means financial stability at the start of the growing season, when it matters most. For you, it means the best produce of the season, a deeper connection to where your food comes from, and the satisfaction of supporting the people who grow it.
Choose Your Share
Choose the season length that fits your schedule. Both the 8-week and 16-week plans include enough fresh, locally grown produce for a family each week, with pickup right here at Barn Owl Garden Center.
Eight weeks of peak-season produce, timed perfectly for the heart of the Illinois harvest. This is the ideal plan if you want to try the Farm Share experience or are working around summer travel plans.
The full season experience, running from the first summer harvests all the way through early fall. Sixteen weeks means you get the full sweep of what Illinois farms grow best, from early summer greens to fall squash and root vegetables.
Simple By Design
Getting started with your Farm Share is straightforward. Here's everything you need to know from sign-up to pickup.
Decide between the 8-week share (July 18, September 5) or the 16-week full-season share (approx. June 20, October 3). Both plans include enough produce for a family each week, with weekly pickup right here at Barn Owl.
Your payment goes directly to supporting the farms at the start of the season, when capital is most critical. This is what makes the CSA model so meaningful, your investment makes the harvest possible.
Each week our farm partners harvest and deliver the freshest produce of the season. We pack your share at Barn Owl, ready for pickup. No guessing what's in it, we include a weekly contents list.
Swing by our Carol Stream location on your designated pickup day. While you're here, browse the garden center, grab a cup of coffee, and chat with our team about what to do with this week's haul.
