CSA Info - Edgton, WI - Upbeet Produce

About Our CSA

Upbeet Produce is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) vegetable farm. CSA is where you partner with our farm by purchasing a share in the farm and thus becoming a member. You then receive a weekly box of vegetables, at a bulk discount, for 22 weeks from June 5 – Oct 30 for the 2024 season. We grow over 35 different vegetables, with multiple varieties of some vegetables – including some heirlooms. All of our produce is certified organic and non-GMO. When it comes to eating, we believe it's important what you are eating and how you feel after a meal. Our farm provides you local, fresh, pristine, healthy produce that leaves you feeling upbeet! Produce in each week's share varies depending on what is in season. We offer a variety of share options to choose from:

-Every Other Week (EOW) Single Share - feeds 1-2 people. One share delivered every other week for 22 weeks.

-Weekly Single Share - feeds 2-3 people. One share delivered weekly for 22 weeks.

-Every Other Week (EOW) Double Share - feeds 2-3 people. Two shares delivered every other week for 22 weeks.

-Weekly Double Share - feeds 4-6 people. Two shares delivered weekly for 22 weeks.

-NEW: Monthly CSA share! If you're new to CSA, travel a lot, or new to regularly eating veggies, this would be a great option! With this option you will receive one CSA share per month, from June through Oct. All CSA events except for the "You Pick" are included in the monthly membership option. Limited spots are available.

Shares will be available for pick-up on Thursdays, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM.

Member Involvement

We want our members to feel like they are truly a part of the farm! Each week’s share contains a newsletter with recipes, veggie identification, and farm updates. Members have the option to receive a list of what items will be in their shares a few days prior to picking it up. We will be having three farm events in 2024 for our members: Get to Know You Gathering, You Pick Day (come pick free tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs!), and Fall Harvest Dinner (food provided by us!). About 1/3 of the way into the season, I (Jesse) will be spending time at the Basic’s Cooperative CSA pick-up site to be available to chat with members. I will be doing this to help ensure the 2024 season is off to a good start by getting feedback. However, throughout the entire season, members highly are encouraged to give feedback!

About Our Farm

The farm is surrounded by rolling hills of prairies and red rustic outbuildings. It's conveniently located just 20 minutes northwest of Janesville and halfway between Evansville and Edgerton. We follow practices that promote sustainability. This is accomplished through building soil and limiting erosion by using cover crops and compost in the fields, encouraging living organisms in the soil through limiting tilling, and protecting the soil by using mulch wherever possible.

Expected Crops for 2024

Basil, green beans, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, celery, cauliflower, cilantro, cucumbers, dill, eggplant, fennel, garlic, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, onions, parsley, peppers, potatoes, radishes, spinach, squash (summer & winter), Swiss chard, tomatoes (cherry too), & more!
