Located in Northern Rock county Roots Down Community Farm offers MOSA certified organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs to our members in a twenty one week CSA subscription. Our philosophy begins with sustainable methods for a biologically healthy system of growing. Our land is worked with respect and care utilizing techniques which sustain and build the soil supporting it’s long term health. With three acres under cultivation our operation is quality driven and locally oriented providing personal care in the growth, handling and delivery of our produce. We deeply value the direct relationship we have with our CSA members and families as an integral part of the farm and it’s yearly cycle. Your commitment as a member allows us to properly prepare and focus on growing quality organic crops each season and provides you with the bounty of our efforts. Even in unpredictable environments, our diversity provides a unique selection to enjoy throughout each season. 2013 will mark our sixth season as a FairShare sponsored farm growing quality food for local families in the greater Madison and Janesville area. Our shares are available in three sizes standard, basic, and bi-weekly to suit your families unique needs. Over eighty families shared in our 2012 season, and we had an excellent year so we will be offering an increased amount of shares for 2013.
