Welcome to the 2020 season!
Thank you for your interest in supporting Towne’s Harvest
Garden! THG is MSU’s 3-acre, certified organic campus farm.
2020 will mark our 14th growing season, and we are looking
forward to a field full of crops, teaching growing principles to
the next generation of farmers, and your involvement!
What is a CSA?
A CSA (community supported agriculture) membership is a mutually beneficial
relationship between small farms and community members. A member helps support a
farm in the beginning of the season when funds are low by paying upfront for a summer's
worth of produce. The farm is then able to financially sustain itself in the early season
through harvest. As a member, you will receive a weekly supply of certified organic
vegetables from our farm, advice during distribution, online newsletters, recipe
suggestions, and much enthusiasm from our students and staff!
How it works!
This year we will continue offering our spring greens, summer, student summer, and full
season share options. If you have any questions, recommendations, or need assistance
filling out your member agreement, don’t hesitate to contact THG’s Marketing Manager

All members – We will provide you with a THG reusable bag your first visit, which
we will ask you to bring back each week to carry your vegetables home in. We will also send
you a weekly, online newsletter describing your share of the harvest and recipes to help
utilize your veggies! As a member, you will be the first to be informed about exciting events
and any additional produce bundles for sale towards the end of the season. Each week you
will come to our farm and pick out the individual bundle of each item we have to offer, while
our students and staff assist you with recommendations on how to use the items. Finally,
you will be respected and shown a season’s worth of gratitude for supporting Towne’s
Harvest Garden through yet another year!

Member understands and agrees that the harvest may vary dramatically from week to week due to
weather, pest control, hail, and many other factors which affect plant growth and development.
