A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share is a weekly produce subscription, but it is so much more than that. It is essentially investing early in the farm's season and reaping the rewards all year! What's more a membership in the Cultivate Hope CSA is an investment in the development of a healthy food culture in Cedar Rapids.

Our CSA runs for 20 weeks from the first week of June and through the middle of October. We focus on the basics that you already know what to do with, but try to include something new and exciting every week. We also provide weekly recipies to give you new ideas in the kitchen.  

Beyond providing local produce, Cultivate Hope strives to create a thriving food culture in Cedar Rapids. We will also be hosting fun events and classes on the farm through the season so you can really see where your food comes from and get to know some other members.
