About our CSA

GOT VEGGIES ?

WE DO. And we want to share them with you.

Circle M is a small local farm providing CSA produce by subscription. Community Supported Agriculture means you buy a share in the homestead then we deliver a generous box of fresh, delicious, heirloom vegetables every other week June thru October. We’ll also deliver our Homestead Meats and Range Fed Eggs by order in season. As a vital part of the farm community, you’ll receive periodic invitations to festivals, work days, classes and potlucks here among the pastures, paddocks, ponds and gardens. Reserve your part now in a sustainable adventure just outside of town! Delivery to 5 Madison sites on Wednesdays. Farm pick-up Saturday and Sunday.

Why CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an opportunity for you to connect directly to the farm where your food is grown. Your contribution funds the health of the land, enabling the farmers to carefully tend the homestead and all that live there, both plants and animals. A CSA share provides you with a steady supply of healthy, organically-grown produce that’s been minimally handled and only briefly shipped, enabling you to eat fresh, seasonal, gourmet food for well below grocery store organic prices. You are also privy to the life of the farm, invited to schedule private visits and to participate in community work days and seasonal festivals.

Why Circle M?
Every CSA farm is different and is able to offer a unique experience to members. We think one of the most joyous aspects of Circle M is that we’re based on a sustainable small homestead model in which animals, pastures and row crops live in a continuous circle of nurture. Each aspect of the farm life here has a specific purpose in the circle. That means farm visits are a vibrant circus of sheep, cows, pigs, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, geese and turkeys. It also means you can order homestead meats or wool products to come with your delivery! You’ll also get a discount on wellness and woolcraft workshops held at the farm. Because Circle M is such an utter delight for us, we think it’s a community you’ll want to be a part of, too. You can join the adventure by visiting the blog every day at circlemfarm.com.

What’s in the Box?
We’ve decided to offer every-other-week boxes, as some folks find weekly boxes to be more than they can eat. The size is just over 2 cubic feet. Contents vary according to season, but we start with potted herbs, lettuce, spinach, arugula, Asian greens, radish, pea shoots, snap peas, then add turnips , carrots, pak choi and kale; progress through beets, beans, kohlrabi, cabbage, cucumbers, summer squash, corn, eggplant, garlic, fennel, tomatoes, peppers and melons; and finish with potatoes, edemame, okra, leeks, onions, hard squash, pumpkins and parsnips! We’ll include lots of recipes and nutritional info and tuck a bouquet in every box when we’ve got flowers. Click here to see actual Harvest Lists from previous years.

When Does It All Begin?
Deliveries run to Fitchburg and Madison on Wednesday evenings June through October. The season will kick off with a Lambs and Lettuces Festival on June 5 and finish with a Homestead Harvest Day at the farm October 23. Delivery dates, times, and other farm events are posted at circlemfarm.com.
