Grand Island Acres CSA

Grand Island Acres CSA in Nebraska offers a 20-week season of fresh, naturally grown vegetables, herbs, and fruits using sustainable, chemical-free methods.

GI Acres is located on the western edge of Grand Island, Nebraska. The garden takes up about half of an acre. We also have chickens, rabbits, and bees.

Our farm is not USDA Certified Organic and we do not anticipate applying for such status, but we strive to produce healthy vegetables using natural methods of fertilizing, building soil, and controlling pests such as insects and weeds. Those healthy vegetables will begin in mid to late May with herbs, asparagus, rhubarb, and strawberries.  During the season you can expect a variety of greens, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, squash, corn, and potatoes along with tips about how to cook and preserve your weekly share. The season will conclude in late September or early October. We aim for a 20-week season.

We did not grow up on farms but we did grow up in families with large gardens, eating a variety of fresh produce and canning/freezing the excess.  We have maintained the tradition of growing and preserving food for our family for the past 20+ years. GI Acres is our attempt to share that passion for good food with our community.
