Benefits of Joining Our CSA
Our Powerkraut CSA offers an opportunity to receive fresh probiotic power and healthy vitamins and enzymes through living raw cultured food in your daily life. Available year round, monthly delivery of our products can serve to support health through every season. Read the article entitled Powerkraut: A Raw, Whole Food Probiotic for an understanding of the probiotic and health benefits of our products.
- Fresh raw living probiotic food, prepared directly for you, offering immune boost and wholesome nutrition for the whole family. Our organic produce is grown on our farm homestead or purchased from other organic farms.
-
Delicious products you can count on, with a 7-year history of successful production, with tested quality and safety in each production batch. Powerkraut is currently sold in Natural Food Co-ops in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. Powerkraut is produced in our state-licensed organic certified kitchen, where we have only used eco-paints and eco-floor sealant (No off gassing!), and we do not use any plastic in our production.

- Investment in sustainable farming practices for the earth, supporting biological and seed diversity. We rotate with cover crops, mulch, grow grass waterways and tend permanent pastures. We use biodynamic preps and sprays to increase the vitality of the land.
- A good feeling! Our CSA is a great way to support grass-roots organic/ bio-dynamic farmers. Your purchase of a share before the season begins allows us to purchase seeds, hire folks, and attend to other farm needs to get the season started. We appreciate the rhythm of production that a CSA offers, as well as the potential opportunity to get to know our customers better. We welcome your stories, your children’s drawings, your questions and feedback.
- Opportunity to make a difference. It’s a fact: In 1900, over 95% of folks in America had their hands in the soil, gardening and farming, or were harvesting wild foods. Today, less than 2% of our population live on a farm, and most of these farms are owned by just a few big businesses. This means one of our primary sources for survival, food, is almost exclusively owned by a handful of people whose bottom line is to make a profit. We all know what that bottom line leads to in our world, and we are witnessing the environmental and economic results. Factory and chemical farming are two big business experiments that are causing great harm. We can make a difference just by acknowledging this reality, and researching other options. An organic CSA program is one option among many.
