We offer farm box subscriptions for summer (June - October) and winter (October - February), as well as a limited number of subscriptions for our entire growing season (May-February). Our summer share comes in two sizes, solo and sustainer. We grow all of the produce in our boxes right here in Rushford MN, with the exception of a few specialty items which we curate especially for our members. Specialty items are only included in our Winter subscription, and occasionally in May. You’ll always know where your food is coming from, and it will always be organic!

We deliver to over 30 locations (Co-ops, Cafes, Breweries, and more) in Minnesota and Wisconsin: Burnsville, Chanhassen, Chatfield, Edina, La Crosse, Lansboro, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Richfield, Rochester, St. Paul, Winona, and Woodbury. Get a list of all locations here. We deliver your box to your preferred location, and you come pick it up!

Our Spring and Summer subscriptions are delivered weekly during their respective seasons, and our winter share is delivered every-other week. You can always put your box on hold if you’re out of town, and receive extra veggies the following week! Our All Season CSA runs from mid May through mid February, our Summer season begins mid June and ends mid October (18 weeks), and our Winter CSA starts mid October and ends mid February (18 weeks, 9 total deliveries bi-weekly). We do not currently deliver CSAs in March or April.

Members can opt to pay in full at sign up, or pay using installments. Each subscription has a different installment payment amount, but they all run on similar schedules.

Your first installment is always due when you sign up for a CSA farm box subscription. This secures your spot and pays for your first few deliveries. Your next installment will be billed 30 after you sign up OR on the first week of your subscription’s deliveries, whichever is the furthest date from your first payment.

Subsequent installment payments will be billed every 30 days from the date of your second payment.

Opting to pay in installments does not increase the price of your subscription.

For more info on our installment schedule, see our account questions page.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), where members are connected to the highs and lows of the farm, as we experience both lovely and not-so-lovely conditions to grow great food. We have over 30 years of experience under our belt to minimize the risks that go along with farming. Even in the worst drought on record at Featherstone (2012), or the worst year of crop loss due to ongoing rain (2016), we pulled off an amazing season! We have great packing and storing facilities, phenomenal work crews, as well as an excellent irrigation system. That said, Nature is rarely consistent, and we have to be prepared for anything.

We grow about 100 varieties of fruit, herbs, leafy greens, and vegetables, which we think is pretty good for our Minnesota growing season. Items are available with their seasonality, plus we offer other specialty products (honey, apples, eggs, flour, jam) from our local partners. Because we grow in a four season climate, not all items are available at all times. Check out a product list here. In 2025, we started leasing Hoch Orchard, and have been enjoying organic apples and fresh pressed cider from Sept. through December!

Yes, our produce is USDA certified organic! We are also certified through the Real Organic Project, the Fair Food Program, and have food safety certifications through FSMA and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). Read more about our certifications here.

Yes! Our customers give us very high marks for the quality of our produce and our customer service. If you ever have a problem with what's in your box, call or email us, and we will fix it for you.

Items for spring and summer boxes are harvested within about 48 hours of delivery. Winter storage crops (squash, carrots, potatoes, etc.) are stored; fresh winter greens are harvested just before delivery.

We grow (almost) all of the fruits and vegetables that you’ll receive in your box right here in Rushford, MN. We also offer a small selection of curated items (honey, flour, jam) for purchase from our local partners, and may occasionally supplement a few crops (some onions, potatoes and parsnips during the winter season) with neighboring farmers’ crops. These crops are sourced from certified organic neighboring farms.

In the Featherstone Farm CSA, we assign a price value to every item in your box as a way for us to be sure that our members are really getting a good value for their subscription. We publish these prices in the account management section of our website (CSAware).

Generally, prices reflect what you would pay for similar items at a food co-op or a Whole Foods Market. However, sometimes you will notice that prices are higher or lower than you would expect to see in the store. When that is the case, we offer a brief explanation for what is going on. Often, higher prices reflect the higher cost of producing an item in the wet, four-season climate of southeastern Minnesota (vs. the arid climate of southern California's Central Valley). You can expect to see lower prices when a crop is at the peak of its production.

This pricing strategy is part of our commitment to pricing our crops in line with what they cost us to produce here in Minnesota, while always giving you the lowest price possible given those circumstances. More details.

We believe in locally produced food. Read more about our history and values, and get to know the farm.

Yes, but only if our CSA is not already sold out! If we have space mid-season and you join, you will pay only for the weeks remaining in the season.
