The Milwaukee CSA Initiative: Farm Shares to Urban Kitchens

Historical Initiative of Slow Food Wisconsin Southeast • Preserved Food Policy Resource

The Milwaukee CSA Initiative connected urban households across Southeastern Wisconsin directly with certified organic and biodynamic family farms through seasonal Community Supported Agriculture shares.

By purchasing a farm share in the spring, members provided farmers with essential early-season working capital, and in return received weekly boxes of freshly harvested heirloom vegetables, herbs, and pastured goods throughout the summer and autumn.
