In 2023, Wallace Homestead/Cackleberry Hollow will be expanding our CSA offerings!
We will offer a 18 week C.S.A. season, which will begin in June (May if weather permits) and will run through the October.
Pick up on Thursday at the farm at Our Farm Store (6 pm-7 pm). Limited Pick up on Friday Morning in the Polaris area (11:30 am- 11:45 am). There will be a private facebook group with lots of tips and ideas to use your shares along with a quick "unboxing" live to let you know what you are receiving.
The number of shares will be VERY limited.
NEW THIS YEAR: In conjunction, with The Spotted Pig Ranch Meat CSA Program, we will be offering a monthly Produce share delivered along with their meat deliveries!!

Family Share ($700)--The standard share is designed for families of three or more, and will include approximately $50-$55 of fresh, seasonal local produce each week. (two baskets-usually)
NEW THIS YEAR: Bi-weekly Share ($225) If you feel like you can't get through the amount of produce offered weekly, then this share may be for you!. You will get a standard Individual Share every other week through the season. After sign up you will be assigned to the "A" group or "B" group.
EARLY BIRD SIGN UP: Sign up and make your first payment by February 1st, and you will pay 2022 prices ($375 & $675)
The Spotted Pig Monthly Delivery: $215 for a single share delivered monthly with your meat delivery. You can sign up for multiple shares. (6 shares available)
Payment plans are available, feel free to ask!

We will also be offering (first to our members before the public) other add-ons. Eggs are offered to our Herdshare & CSA members first. There may also be opportunities to add on Flowers, Meat, and More during the season. Will will also be offering one-time "Canner" pick ups.
The dollar value examples for the weekly shares are simply meant to give you a rough idea of how much produce you get. During times of bounty in the season the shares are considerably larger than these estimates. However, in farming there are risks, and inevitably there will be a very few slim weeks. I am confident that you will find at the end of the season that your share was money well spent.
There are also planned events for the CSA/Herdshare members including an “on the farm” open house day, possible “U-Pick” opportunities, and our 10TH ANNUAL“really LOCAL” craft / produce market on October 15th, 2023
You are always encouraged to come be a part of the farm and spend some time working in the sun and the dirt! The quantity and quality of food is directly impacted by the amount of support we receive--thus the phrase Community Supported Agriculture. We especially need extra help on some of our bigger, time consuming projects. "Many hands make light work." We are doing all we can to carefully manage farm related expenses. One of the unfortunate realities of many of our cost saving efforts is that they become time-consuming projects. We have plans for making inexpensive farm improvements but often just don't have the time.
We are hoping (and praying) that our produce year reaps enough for our family and our CSA members, with enough extra bounty for the produce stand in order for us to add a greenhouse to the farm so we can extend the growing season to almost year round!! But we can't do it alone.
WORKSHARES: Unfortunately, the workshare program just didn't work out last year, so we will be not be offering it this year.
We do utilized produce from the local farm growers & Amish growers in our area (still locally grown in Morrow County). This is only to round out produce that has been requested but we are either not growing currently or for crop failures.
