Farm Share (CSA) | Happy Day Farmhaus

What is a Farm Share?

A Farm Share is our version of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).

By purchasing a share with our farm, our members make an upfront commitment of support and secure a share of the harvest.

Members make our whole farm possible!

Each week, members will receive a reusable blue bin overflowing with our best seasonal produce grown right here on the farm. Our shares include a variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers all grown with environmentally responsible practices.

Even better, you get to pick out your Farm Share items each week, getting you exactly what you want! One of our favorite parts of the Farm Share program is getting to connect with YOU every single week for the entire season. We’re a fairly small program, filled with Milwaukee-area veggie lovers, and we love growing food that feeds your families!

Timing

This season begins Wednesday, June 7th and runs for 22 weeks.

Farm Shares will be available for pick up or delivery on Wednesdays each week.

How does this
Farm Share work?

On Mondays, we send you an order form. The offerings represent what is available on the farm at that point in time.

Make your selections by Tuesday afternoon, at 1pm. We may contact you if we have questions or updates to the offerings in response to your selections. It’s a quick turnaround, so please be on the lookout.

We will drop off or deliver the bin on Wednesday at the location of your choosing.

Pick Up Times & Locations

We understand life gets crazy, especially during summer holidays, but we ask that by committing to this program you help us out by setting a reminder on your busy calendar to pick up. Any bins not picked up will be donated to the Menomonee Falls Food Pantry. Pick Up location spots are limited.

Farm Share Types

Farm Shares are 1 size. Each week you are able to select between 8 - 10 items. Each item in the share is a fairly large portion (typically larger than our market sizes). Farm Share members are offered discounted bulk produce as well as free seconds throughout the season. For 2023, our Eggs will be included in the items by the half dozen only.

Every Week Share

$43/share for 22 weeks

$946 for the season

Order 8-10 items every week for 22 weeks. Folks that enjoy this size work veggies in to most if not every meal during the week, and make it the main course. It can feed a large family, or couples who are committed to making veggies each week. (keep those spices stocked!). Those that do well with Every Week produce like to try new veggies, and pick out something new each week to try. Veggie prep takes about 20 minutes for each meal, or some prefer to do it all at once when they get their bin.

*doorstop delivery available
$6/bin ($132/season)

Every Other Week Share

$43/share for 11 weeks

$473 for the Season

Order 8-10 items every other week (biweekly). We will assign you to order on even or odd weeks.

This option is great for those that travel, since there is a gap between weeks. Those that enjoy biweekly produce eat veggies as a side to meals, and have salads for lunches a few days a week. Since our produce is harvested fresh, it mostly lasts the 2 weeks between bins.

*doorstop delivery available
$6/bin ($66/season)

Short Season Share

$43/share for 10 consecutive weeks

$430 for the season

Order 8-10 items for 10 straight weeks starting July 19 and running through September 27.

This is the height of our growing season, giving members a range of produce when the pickings good!

Great for those giving us a try! Receive a farmers choice bin (i.e. pre-packed, not customizable) at the peak of Summer when the farm is bursting with every variety of produce. This season we anticipate that being Weeks 11-15 (August). You can submit your veggie preferences, and we’ll do our best to meet them!

Donate your time and receive $50 off your season total. Agri“culture” is just that… it’s a culture. Farm task are much more fun and rewarding when done as part of a community. Donate 3 hours of your time twice throughout the season to receive $50 off. Or, bring a friend and the 2 of your can help out once.

Not sure you’ll use all the produce? Try splitting a bin. Some members split the bin each week, or switch off every other week with a friend or family member.

Is a Farm Share for you?

Here are a few reasons why members sign up with us:

A genuine love for veggies

We got into farming because straight-from-the-ground veggies taste the best and last the longest. There is a fresh flavor in our spinach, and a sugary snap to the carrots that you can’t find in grocery stores. Also, those that love veggies know there’s more to it than just taste—veggies are loaded with tons of health benefits. The Farm Share program makes it possible to create meals entirely with vegetables, eliminating the need for the weekly grocery shopping.

Care for our local community

Our farm is more than just a food source—it offers hands-on experience with nature and interactions with friends and families. Our goal is to create these moments out in the field—picking flowers, harvesting veggies, and enjoying time together. Or these moments of togetherness at home—cooking up a meal for a family, prepping veggies with kids, or sharing recipes for the holidays. We care about the people we serve, and really want our members to have a good experience with this program.

Care about our planet

Investing in a Farm Share helps support the biodiversity and health of our land. Growing food organically calls for practices that do not harm animals, insects and us as human beings. Additionally, adding more veggies to your diet (and dare I say decreasing meat consumption to a Wisconsinsite?) is a great way to make a positive impact on our environment.
