YES! I want to join the Southeast Iowa Food Hub and the Local Food Movement in Southeast Iowa. I will be a partner by buying a share in the SE Iowa Food Hub CSA. I understand that my CSA shares will be available roughly late May through early November.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between farmers and community members who work together to build a healthy local food system. Consumers become shareholders by paying in advance for farm products. In this way, customers share the risks of production with the farmer.
Why eat locally grown food?
- Local food is more fresh and delicious because it is harvested at the peak of ripeness.
- Local food supports small family farms and helps to grow the next generation of farmers.
- Local food boosts the local economy by providing local jobs right here in Iowa.
- Local food dollars circulate an average of 5 times through local economies—keeping our investment close to home.
- When you know your farmer, you can know how your food was produced.
