CSA Details

From our members…

I can hardly wait for the new season to begin! I am definitely signing up to be a CSA customer again. --T.F., Manistee member

Thank you so much for the season of wonderful, fresh veggies! We looked forward every week to our delivery. --Ludington member

I am more than pleased with your vegetables. Thank you for your extremely hard work, excellent service! -- Ludington member

Thank you for the beautiful flowers! --2022 Taste of the Farm member

I love the freshness and quality of produce. I also love the delivery service. Everything always tastes so wonderful. -- Build Your Basket Share member

I loved knowing that I would have organic produce dropped off at my doorstep weekly. It made eating healthy a bit easier with a busy family. --Pentwater CSA member

We absolutely LOVE the variety you bring each week. It's like Christmas in the summer. --T.A., Ludington member

Thank you for the lovely flowers. Each week's bouquet is more beautiful than the last! -- Scottville member

I like to know where our produce comes from and especially enjoy the variety which is offered. So many of [today's] veggies are sprayed with questionable things, it's a great feeling to be able to trust the produce that comes from the Wilson family. --R.B., Scottville member

Thank you so much! Everything was wonderful and we look forward to next season. --2020 CSA member

All of our produce is grown using sustainable, organic farming methods such as using lots of farm and composted manure, rotational crop management, deterring pests and protecting young plants with the use of portable row covers, picking bugs off plants and applying plant-derived organic sprays, hoeing and hand weeding.

*We offer free home delivery within the areas of Custer, Scottville, Ludington, Pentwater, and Manistee!

Our CSA is 18 weeks long and runs the first full week of June through the first week of October. We aim to provide a nice variety of vegetables all season long, with approximately 5-9 different vegetables delivered weekly throughout the CSA season.

Grower Promise: I will use organic principles in my gardening and treat with respect the animals and soil that God has bestowed into my care.  I will work diligently, doing my best to provide a bountiful harvest to members of the CSA.  I will also work with each member in an understanding way, as well as communicate regularly with them regarding what’s happening on the farm.

Member Promise:  By purchasing a CSA share from Kid Ranch CSA Farm, I understand that I am partnering in small-scale, sustainable agriculture.  I further understand that there are inherent rewards and risks in agriculture, and I agree to accept the outcomes of the growing season.  I will be a responsible member of Kid Ranch Farm’s CSA, which includes making alternate arrangements for the delivery of my produce if I am away from home (e.g. on vacation) on my designated delivery day.

** Purchase of a CSA share means you are in agreement with the Member Promise listed above. **

IMPORTANT: ALL members of our CSA will have access to the online order form to order add-on (pay per week) items as desired. Add-on items include such farm products as our own pastured whole chickens, grass-fed beef, pastured pork, eggs from our pastured chickens, locally produced raw honey, and (occasionally) fresh flowers. Our freshly cut flower bouquets are offered as separate flower shares. Scroll toward the bottom of this page for more information about our flower shares.

Registration for the 2026 season will open on March 1. We have 120 CSA shares available this year.

If you would like to be added to our 2026 CSA notification list, email us at kidranchfarm@gmail.com.

Choose your share(s):

BUILD YOUR BASKET SHARE

Build Your Basket— In-season vegetable, meat, and egg choices selected by members through an online order form. 5-9 choices per week. Members are given a list of vegetables and other farm products* [select pastured meats, eggs, and teacup flower bouquets (end of season) which vary in availability from week to week] with a maximum number of choices allowed for the week. Then BYB share members order online a day or two before their scheduled delivery day. Prior to the first week of delivery, members will be given a link for ordering online each week throughout the CSA season. Feeds approximately 2-5 people. Check out our FAQ page for a list of vegetables we grow. If a BYB member chooses not to place an order during the two-day ordering period, that week’s CSA items will be selected by Farmer Pete. He will decide which items are delivered that week.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We removed the Farmer’s Choice option this year. Instead, the Farmer’s Choice option is built into the Build Your Basket Share option. One price. Two choices. For the weeks you want to choose your items, place an online order. For the weeks you want your delivery to be a surprise, do nothing and Farmer Pete will make the selections for you. (You may decide not to place an online order all 18 weeks if you’d like.) However, the various options of meat, eggs, and specific vegetable choices in the first section of the weekly order form WILL be available to you and are included in the price of the share.

*See more about the new ordering options for the BYB share in the section entitled, “I’m concerned about paying more for produce than I can use. What options do I have?” on the FAQ page of our website.

FLOWER SHARES

FLOWER SHARES— A bouquet of freshly cut flowers from our farm, delivered at least seven times throughout the growing season. Most of the flowers we grow are traditional, homestead varieties. Flower bouquets may include all gladiolas or all sunflowers, but the majority–at least five–of the arrangements will include a variety of flowers. (Typically, the flower season begins the middle/end of July and lasts until mid-September.) Delivery is already included in the share price! You will be assigned a delivery day (Monday, Wednesday, or Friday), which is based on our weekly vegetable CSA share routes. NOTE: For non-vegetable CSA members, a small fee may be added if you live outside of our regular CSA delivery routes.
