By investing in a CSA Membership, you will experience some of the best food from our USDA Certified Organic farm. We take pride in how we grow our produce and protect the soil by following organic growing methods. It is our top priority to never used any chemicals or practices that harm Mother Nature.

Support local
When you purchase a CSA Share at Heritage Prairie Farm, you are supporting small business within your community which means your dollars are staying local. We emphasize our connection to the community with local partnerships and fundraisers whenever we can.
MAXIMIZE nutrition
Produce starts losing nutrients after it's harvested. Our CSA Boxes are harvested, washed and packed just a few hours before they're sent to you for delivery, which means the produce in your boxes is as nutrient-dense and fresh as it gets.
better for the planet
By supporting a local farm, your produce doesn't have to travel as far, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of your food supply. We are also USDA Certified Organic, meaning we choose to farm with practices that reduce the impact on the land and soil and never use harmful chemicals.
Reduce Waste
When you purchase a CSA Share with Heritage Prairie Farm, we know how much produce to plan for. Rather than harvesting produce that may not be purchased, we are able to tailor our growing plan to suit the needs of our customers. Your support of CSA Programs ensures that vegetables make it to plates to be enjoyed!
