We have a wide range of partner farm offerings.

Our CSA program has a wide range of partner offerings. For the 2025 CSA season, our farms are: Barr Farms, Cleav's Family Market, Elmwood Stock Farm, Flourishing Herbs, Hickory Grove Farm, Lazy Eight Stock Farm, Mustard Seed Farm, Majestic Greens Farm, Old Homeplace Farm, Rains and Sun Hilltop Farm, Rootbound Farm, Sustainable Harvest Farm and the UK Organic Farming Unit. If you are an employee or retiree on a UK health insurance plan, you can use your voucher to pair with any of these farms.

What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is like a subscription to a farm. CSA shareholders purchase a share of a farm’s harvest before the season starts and commit to being a shareholder for the entire designated season. In return, shareholders will receive a weekly box or bag of farm vegetables and sometimes fruit and herbs as well.

The UK HR Health and Wellness CSA Voucher program helps make this choice easier for you! As a participant in this program, employees* and retirees** on a UK health plan receive either $100 or $200 vouchers toward the cost of a CSA share from one of our partner farms. As a participant in the voucher program, you will receive:

A box of local vegetables (and occasionally fruits and other farm products) delivered weekly to a convenient pickup location that you choose.
Opportunities to get to know your local farmers and learn more about where your food comes from.
Seasonal tips and recipes for the produce in your weekly shares, join our dedicated Facebook group and subscribe to our blog.

Don't wait to claim your voucher! The last day to redeem one on the UK Dashboard is April 11 at 4 p.m.

LEARN MORE AND PURCHASE A CSA SHARE

All shares are customizable every week. We will email you a few days ahead of your pickup to let you know what the default share is for the week, plus all the available items on the farm that can be swapped and added to your delivery for that week. All customization is done during your store access hours using our simple online platform. If you choose not to customize your box for the week, you will still get a great curated box of items from us.
Pause your share ahead of time, and you won't get a delivery that week. Your available balance will carry over for future weeks. You don't pay for the deliveries that you won't use.
Farm tours, farm dinners and volunteer workdays. Most events are open to the public.

Frequently asked questions

The voucher pays for a portion of a CSA share from one of our partner farms. It does not cover the entire purchase price. Vouchers are offered in $100 and $200 amounts to be used accordingly toward the purchase of the corresponding share size.

The $100 voucher can be used for the following sizes ONLY. Mini, Small, Peck. Not all farms offer a small size, so if you are in a smaller household of 1-2 people, please take this into account.
The $200 voucher can be used for the following sizes ONLY. Half, Medium, Large, Regular, Half bushel, Full, Abundant, Extra-large, XL, Bushel, Robust. Essentially, you may use this voucher on any share. EXCEPT the smallest size offered by the farm. Cleav’s and UK Organic Farming Unit (aka “South Farm”) have one single share size. You can only use the $200 voucher toward shares from these farms. Be sure to claim the $200 voucher on your dashboard if you wish to partner with these farms.

You may only use the voucher toward the purchase of a share from one of our partner farms and only for the share size for which it is intended. The voucher has no cash value.

If you choose the wrong voucher for your needs, please email eldimartino@uky.edu to initiate a voucher swap.

Shares vary based on the farm and the time of year. Farms grow various crops and each week different produce items are growing into and out of maturity. Many farms show examples of past shares on their websites and social media platforms. Please keep in mind that each CSA season can be different depending on several variables such as heat, rain, soil and labor, although every farm aims to deliver the highest quality weekly shares possible.

The quantity of produce in each CSA share varies by farm and by week. The average weekly share will offer a seasonal variety of items (5-9 in a small/mini share and 6-12 in a large/regular share). An "item" is sometimes a bunch, bundle or bag amount, not just a singular vegetable. Typically, a regular/full/large share is designed to supply two adults or a small household with most of their weekly produce needs, while a small/mini share is designed to supplement weekly produce needs for one to two adults. If you are new to CSA and unsure which size to choose, we recommend choosing a smaller share, as you can always supplement at a farmers market or buy more items to be added if your farm offers online shopping. We strongly suggest that you read the farm profiles on our CSA main page as well the individual farms’ websites to help you make the decision that is right for you.

The cost of a CSA varies by farm and by the size of the share. Typically, without a voucher, the cost of a regular share ranges from about $540 to $1,200 (subtract $200 with voucher use) and a small share is about $360 to $900 (subtract $100 with voucher use).

Some farms even offer an extra-large share for larger households, so be sure to take note of that if you are feeding more people at home or splitting with another family! You would also use the $200 voucher if you choose to buy an extra-large share.

A CSA offers several unique benefits:

You will experience the diversity of locally grown fresh produce.
You get to know your farmer and how your food is grown. Some farms offer members-only access to tours, events and u-picks. If that access is important to you, you can choose your farm accordingly!
Many farms offer customization features such as the ability to pause your share and either swap items in your share or buy more as needed.
Farms offer many different pickup locations. You can choose the location that is right for you. You keep your food dollars in your community.

CSA is a mutual commitment between a farm and its shareholders/members. CSA members share in the rewards of a great season and the risks that come with bad weather and pests. Participating farmers have been growing food for many seasons, and they typically grow a variety of crops. This decreases the likelihood that all crops will be ruined from a pest or weather problem, but be sure to read your farm’s CSA membership agreement to learn more about their individual policies and procedures.
