For 2025 we are offering a Skandia CSA, that is a collaborative effort by a number of local farms. You can purchase the CSA on our Shop page, or by clicking HERE.
The CSA will start (weather depending) on June 11, 18, or 25th and will go for 18 weeks into mid/late October
We are offering three sizes:
- Large, for $40/week
- Medium, for $30/week
- Small, for $20/week
Weekly box pickup will have several options:
- pickup at the Skandia Farmers’ Market on Wednesdays, from 6-7pm
- home delivery to Marquette (if you don’t live in Marquette and want home delivery, let us know where you live and we will see if it can work with our delivery schedule)
- pickup at Devooght’s General Store, in Skandia, on Thursdays or Fridays
What is a CSA? The acronym stands for “Community Supported Agriculture,” a subscription practice invented by Booker T. Whatley, an Alabama horticulturist and professor. What he called “clientele membership clubs” in the 1960s (to help Black farmers who were often denied farming loans and grants) are now called CSAs and allow farmers to sell produce in advance to subscription members. Members get shares of the produce throughout the growing season.
You can order your CSA by using our online store, and you will hear from us soon!
The Skandia CSA is only $40 a week for a Large Box, $30 a week for a Medium Box and $20 a week for a Small Box:
Weather permitting, the Skandia CSA starts the week of June 11, 18, or 25th and goes until the last week in September (we may offer an extension depending on how kind the weather is to our crops that time of year!).
You get a Skandia CSA every other week during the growing season, for a total of 18 weeks.
Some features of the box:
- Includes veggies and herbs such as: tomatoes, peppers, garlic, cucumbers, lettuces, spinach, radishes, scallions, carrots, chard, broccoli, arugula, kale, and more.
- Includes locally prepared food items, such as: hot sauces, salsas, honey, maple syrup, bread, and more.
- The freshest produce available, every CSA during the season.
We believe Dukes Farm’s weekly box stands out for a number of reasons:
- An affordable price on fresh local produce
- Heritage vegetable varieties and other varieties that taste better and are more nutritious
- We focus on the cleanliness of the produce
- Your food dollars stay local
- Every vegetable that should be fresh is delivered to members fresh.
