Grow Dat Farm Shares
Our 29-week-long Farm Share is an opportunity for customers to enjoy chemical-free, fresh produce while investing in our farm and youth leadership program. Farm Shares are a form of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), a way for the community to become “member-investors” who receive a portion of the farm’s harvest every week. All Farm Share proceeds support our youth program, which nurtures the leadership skills of teenagers employed in the meaningful work of growing healthy food. SIGN UP HERE!
How Does it Work?
Farm Shares run for 29 weeks, November 5, 2025 - June 20, 2026. Members are responsible for picking up of their weekly produce box at our farm site in City Park on Wednesday evenings (3-6pm) or Saturday mornings (9am-12pm). Your share will consist of a variety of vegetables and herbs sustainably grown on our farm and can change on a weekly basis. One share will generally supply a family of 2-4 for a week. Each week share members receive a veggie produce share that will regularly include what we like to call “the base of the box:” 1) a ¼ lb. bag of our signature salad mix, 2) one bunch of kale, 3) one bunch of other leafy greens (chard, collards or mustards), 4) and fresh herbs. In addition to the weekly “base,” you will receive other seasonal produce like root crops, summer crops, satsumas and cut flowers. Read more about Farm Share policies or at checkout. SIGN UP HERE!
Add-Ons from Local Cooling Farms:
Egg Share + a la carte Pork Products
Local Cooling Farms raises chickens on pasture year round in Bush, La. Mobile coops are moved every 4-7 days to give the birds a fresh supply of grasses, other plants and most importantly, bugs and worms to forage! They can dust bath, bask in the sun, take short flights, scratch in the soil to their hearts' content and generally behave like all chickens should. Studies have shown that chickens raised on pasture produce eggs that are higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, beta carotene, vitamins E and D, "good cholesterol, " while lower in "bad cholesterol." And they taste better, too! Dozens packed for Grow Dat are a mix of medium, large and jumbo sized eggs and a mix of shell colors from the numerous breeds in the flock. $8.25/weekly dozen, purchased for the duration of the season.
Local Cooling pork products can also be purchased online through your Grow Dat CSA account a la carte each week and added to your share.
