CSA
The Ridgeland Harvest CSA Philosophy
Community Supported Agriculture is a symbiotic relationship between the consumer and the farmer. You will find us a safe, reliable and trustworthy food source; while your financial support early in the season helps us earn a stable income. This relationship benefits us both. You get to experience the seasonality of food grown in Wisconsin, and we are enriched by hearing the experiences you have in eating what we grow. We find this more satisfying than selling to a wholesaler who is more interested in shelf life than taste, texture and beauty.
We take the CSA relationship seriously and feel a deep sense of commitment to the people who support us by purchasing a share. Because of the trust you place in us to grow your food, we place CSA needs before all other markets. Our goal is to always provide you with an abundant variety of high quality, fresh, clean, certified organic produce.
