Giving Garden CSA
The Giving Garden sells a CSA (crop share / veggie subscription) to community members who wish to support our 501c3 farm by buying our produce on a weekly basis. All CSA proceeds directly support the Giving Garden and its apprentices — a portion of proceeds serve as apprentice stipends. We are thrilled to sell fraction of our produce to sustain our work as a donation and education farm.

Support equitable fresh food access in our community by signing up for a Giving Garden CSA.
We're excited to offer our very own Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, a subscription-based model where you can purchase shares in our local farm's seasonal harvest and on a weekly basis, pick up our fresh, locally-grown produce. Our CSA program is a direct reflection of our mission to promote food sovereignty in Alachua County. By offering shares of our organic, sustainably-grown produce, we establish a meaningful connection between consumers and our farm, while driving donations to support our work as a donation and education 501c3 farm.
A portion of our CSAs are harvested and prepared by Giving Garden apprentices who are working to become future leaders in our local food system. When you participate in our CSA program, your dollar supports our educational programming, and a portion of proceeds will go directly to apprentices.
All crops grown at the Giving Garden are produced using regenerative, sustainable farming practices to ensure the highest nutritional quality.
CSA recipients will receive a portion of our seasonal crop yield, provided on a weekly basis beginning October 2024.
Our current CSA Membership for the 2024-2025 season is full. Please email contact@gainesvillegivinggarden.org if you are interested in participating in our CSA program from November 2025-June 2026. We will reserve only 20 spots for this season, so inquire quickly if you are interested!

“Our family loves the Giving Garden CSA! The veggies are delicious and we are so happy to support the garden’s mission in this way. It’s also been fun getting creative in the kitchen - we enjoy trying new recipes and learning what other CSA members are doing with their share. Highly recommend!”
