Community Supported Agriculture
Buy fresh, buy locally! Each season we offer around 65 shares of produce from Gale woods. We are not certified organic, but we follow the practices in our gardens. Shareholders receive 6–20 pounds of vegetables (almost anything that grows in Minnesota), fruit (berries and melons), and herbs from the farm gardens. With your share, you’ll receive a weekly newsletter with seasonal recipes and have the opportunity to participate in garden workdays and our annual CSA potluck and harvest hoedown.
Shares are available for market-style pick up at Gale Woods on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons. We do not deliver. The season is mid-June through mid-October (18 weeks). For general information about purchasing a CSA share, please call 763.694.2001.
2010 Share Information
We have sold out of the CSA shares for 2010. Please call 763.694.2001 with any questions, or to be placed on a contact list for next year (the contact list does not guarantee a share but by being on it you will receive the information necessary to obtain a share for 2011).

Non-share Produce
Seasonal produce will be available for anyone to purchase at the Gale Woods visitor center on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, produce from the gardens will be available market-style from 3:00-6:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June-October. Please call 763.694.2001 for more details.
Youth Farmers
In cooperation with the Carver County Workforce Program, Gale Woods gives youth aged 14–15 the opportunity to work in our gardens and grow vegetables for the shareholders and the Mound-Westonka Food Shelf. Youth farmers learn about sustainable agriculture and food production while receiving leadership training and building lifelong learning skills.
