What is Emerald Acres?
Emerald Acres has been providing naturally grown vegetables, herbs, and fruit to the Lincoln area through local Farmer’s Markets, Community Crops, Open Harvest, and local restaurants since our humble beginnings in 2011. We are located 5 miles west of Lincoln, just up the road from Emerald, Nebraska. We utilize 5 acres to grow over 40 different kinds of produce using all natural, chemical free methods. Although we grow more common varieties of vegetables at Emerald Acres, we have also selected varieties for their health values, as well as their uniqueness to our local markets. To carry on that tradition, we have also selected perennial herbs that offer culinary, medicinal and ornamental uses.
It's not too late to join our 2019 Summer CSA!
Members support the farm with a share of the budget & receive a share of the season’s harvest as a weekly harvest box, picked-up from a delivery site in Lincoln. Harvest shares have an average value of $25/week over the season.
You may choose a full 18-week season share or the 9-week season half share. The 9-week season is the same size share delivered every other week. Summer CSA 2019 begins June 5th & goes through Oct 2nd.
All shares that are not picked up will be donated.
Share cost is $450 for the 18-week Summer Full Share & $225 for the 9-week Half Share. A signed pledge form & deposit ($180) or full payment reserves a share. We strongly encourage early deposits, but we accept pledges until all spots are filled. Early pledges are important to us & help with planning! Subsequent payment of the share balance is due by June 5, 2019.
