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 in donating organic produce to our food-insecure neighbors. 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.

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 November 2025,

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!”
