So what is CSA? For a good description, visit the "About CSA" pages at
the website of the Madison Area Community Supported Agriculture Coalition (MACSAC).
HighCross Farm 2008 CSA Program
“You are doing an excellent job, and the fruit and veggies are the highlights of our weekly eating. Thank you!” - Jean
“We thank God along with you and your wonderful family for the outstanding gifts that are provided to us weekly from your effort and that of your land.” - Fred
Serving our customers with excellence is our highest business goal. We put a lot of heart into our work and products.
Our garden produce is raised naturally, without chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizers. We sell at local farmer’s markets, and through our CSA Program, which continues to expand, with weekly deliveries on Thursdays into the following counties: Fond du Lac, Washington, Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Dodge (plus sites pending in Sheboygan and Jefferson Counties). Let us know if you would like to be a part of our distribution team by hosting a drop-off site and/or helping with delivery (discount may be available). For more details, please see our CSA FAQ page.
The produce is raised in planting beds which are highly enriched with natural compost; the plants are neatly mulched and well-watered, which results in a clean, healthy and robust plant. Then we select only the best from each crop for harvest, carefully wash, and gently pack them.
Your Thursday evening salad will contain items which were still growing just hours beforehand. You cannot get any fresher than that - it’s like having your very own backyard garden, but without all the hard work.
A partial list includes: Strawberries, Red and Black Raspberries, Various Asian Greens, Arugula, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Garlic, Green and Yellow Snap Beans, Culinary Herbs, Kale, Kohlrabi, Leeks, Lettuce, Muskmelon, Onions, Parsley, Parsnips, Peppers, Pickles, Potatoes, Radishes, Spinach, Sugar Snap Peas, Snow Peas, Summer Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Swiss Chard, Tomatoes, Turnips, Watermelon, Winter Squash, and more!

Payment is due (cash or check) in full or in three approximately equal installments. Enclose your first payment with your CSA Membership Form; the second and third payments are due on July 15, and on September 1, 2008 (we suggest you include two postdated checks for the last two installments - it makes bookkeeping easier). Let us know if you need to make alternative payment arrangements. We will continue to enroll members until we reach capacity.
Included with your membership is a weekly e-mail newsletter, with descriptions of the items in your box, storage tips, recipes, and news from the farm. We will also be hosting several on-farm events for CSA members to get together for farm and garden tours, potluck dinners, and special events.
We have several openings for worker shares, intern/apprenticeships, and volunteer workers; please inquire about work opportunity details.
Complete customer satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back! Our business philosophy is to offer the finest quality products, with great service, at a fair price. We invite you to check us out.
