Abbe Hills Farm CSA

Abbe Hills Farm is a CSA farm serving about 150 families in Mt. Vernon, Lisbon, and the Cedar Rapids/Marion area. 2020 will be our 24th year operating the CSA. We offer a wide variety of vegetables from the beginning of June until late October. We use a number of low-input and sustainable practices, including crop rotation, compost, cover crops, pollinator habitat, beneficial insects, and integrated pest management tools to produce tasty, healthy, safe, affordable food for our shareholders. We share excess food with soup kitchens and food distribution sites in southeastern Linn County and in Cedar Rapids. The farm also produces an heirloom variety of open-pollinated corn for seed, plus oats and hay. Soil conservation and water quality improvement are practiced over the entire 72-acre farm. CSA customers pick up their shares at the farm on Thursdays, late in the afternoon. Everyone is welcome to visit the farm and to participate in the CSA. Call Laura Krouse for more information.
