CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a model of farming that connects consumers directly with farmers. The consumer purchases a share in the farm and receives a weekly box of in-season, freshly picked vegetables. In knowing the farmer, the consumer knows the source of his food, is able to support local agriculture, and receives a weekly basket of the freshest vegetables in town.

Anne Therese Stephens is the owner of the Half-acre Urban Farm in Fort Wayne. She has been farming at the urban level and thoroughly enjoys “almost” every dimension of it!

She sold CSA shares from 2020-2022. After a break due to life circumstances, she is ready to restart the sale of tasty and reasonably priced vegetables.

  • You get 8-10 items each week depending on what's in season. Some weeks, if we have a surplus, you'll get freebie 2-for-1 items! An item is usually measured in quarts (potatoes, onions), pints (garlic, cherry tomatoes), or bunches (carrots, beets) depending on what it is. Some items, like cabbage, winter squash, and head lettuce, are measured by quantity. Baby lettuce, green beans, and peas are a bagged item and are weighed.

  • It really depends on your selections. Weight varies a lot depending on the veggie; bunches of carrots typically weigh 2-3 pounds, while bagged lettuce is around half a pound. If you pick only root vegetables, tomatoes, and other heavy veggies, your share could end up weighing 25 pounds!

  • You can add eggs onto your share. There are limited quantities of egg shares available, so be sure to snatch one up when they're available.

“In gardening, one works with the body to feed the body. The work, if it is knowledgeable, makes for excellent food. And it makes one hungry. The work thus makes eating both nourishing and joyful, not consumptive, and keeps the eater from getting fat and weak.” ~Wendell Berry
