Farm Share (CSA) | Happy Day Farmhaus

What is a Farm Share?

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

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 here in Germantown, Wi.

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

The 2024 season runs for 20 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

Pick Up location spots are limited. Any bins not picked up will be donated to the Menomonee Falls Food Pantry.

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. A half dozen eggs are an option on the order form each week.

Every Week Share

$43/share for 20 weeks

$860 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.

$6/bin ($120/season)

Every Other Week Share

$43/share for 10 weeks

$430 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.

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!
