We must raise funding for this new CSA program. 

We ask of those who can make a donation, or sponsor shares, your help is needed! Your gifts fund purchases of CSA shares for qualified WIC FMNP recipient families, providing children and expecting mothers quality nutrition.
Some funding will also be needed for additional equipment and fuel costs.  Please give if you are able.  Thank you in advance.


I thought we could extend the Community Supported Agriculture theme, I thought about another  meaning to CSA. Yes, the community is supporting the farm in CSA. Growing up on a dairy farm and working on farms I understand my connection to consumers. Working at the farmers market,  made me think, there is room for supporting the community with agriculture too. What this means is that I will do my best as a NWF farmer to provide high quality produce for this new CSA program for qualified recipient families.

This New CSA program  is only for participants qualifying in the WIC  FMNP, 
Farmers Market Nutrition Program. 

The new CSA share program provides WIC FMNP participants CSA shares for their family. Food shares shall be picked up at our farmers market locations. 

All FMNP program rules apply. 

To participate :

  • Interested WIC FMNP recipients must Register here on-line.

  • This is a  new test program and requires funding to work or continue.

  • Depending on the amount of contributions and donations made to the program will determine how many shares will be available for each family. 

  • We are striving to provide a share for each adult and child over the age of 10 and a share for each two children under the age of 10. 

  • Depending on donations and funding being available we will begin distributing one CSA share to each registered family.

  • If funding becomes available additional shares will  be distributed to registered families.

This is a new test program and requires funding. Depending on the funding available from contributions for this program, determines if you receive a FMNP CSA Share Card.

  • When you receive a FMNP  CSA Share Card Keep it in a safe place, your wallet or purse, it is like money and difficult to replace if lost. Present your CSA share card with your WIC FMNP Coupon to receive double the value of the FMNP coupon.
