Winter 2022 CSA
2025 Herbal CSA
We will not be offering a Herbal CSA this year; for more information, check out our latest Farm Journal post.
CSA stands for community-supported agriculture. A CSA is one of the best ways to partner with a local farm. You pay an upfront membership that helps to cover the cost of the farm season and then you get to share in the bounty all year long.
As a community member, you get to know the place where your food and herbs are grown. You also get to participate in an alternative economy, one that is not mediated by the industrial model.
Laird Woodland Farm would love to have you be a part of our community! We have a Local CSA if you live near Harper, Sedgwick or Reno Counties.
We also have a Pen-Pal CSA where we can ship directly to you. See below for more details.
Sign-up for our email list for notice of pop-ups and where we are stocking.

Cost for a full year CSA is 300.00 the breakdown works like this:
$70 is cost of shipping, boxes, packaging or booth fee, transport, market set-up for locals
$40 is the cost of special additions such as cup and tea strainer, tincture making kit and other special touches
$25 is the cost of packaging and labels. I do my best to use items that are ecological and easily reusable.
$165 is the cost of the herbs and this is where I pay for seeds, infrastructure, farm help and hopefully pay myself a little something as well.

Sign-ups for 2024 CSA will close May 15th or when sign- ups are full. That said, you are always welcome to check in with me and see if there is a possibility of opening up a spot. If we have capacity we would love to make space for you.

There will be a space when you sign up for you to talk to us about your needs and preferences and we will do our best to make a plan that will work for you. For example I have a CSA member that cannot do chamomile and we have made that work for her with a few minor alterations.
