Crops to Campus
Would you like the convenience of picking up a bag of fresh local produce directly from a local farmer on campus every week?
Crops to Campus is a partnership between the University of Kansas and the Rolling Prairie Farm Alliance to provide a fresh produce subscription service to the Lawrence and Edwards KU community. Faculty, staff, and students are invited to sign up for the 2025 growing season.
CSAs, or community-supported agriculture programs, provide weekly produce deliveries for individuals and families, who in turn support and strengthen the local farms growing the produce through the purchase of a share, or subscription. The Rolling Prairie Farm Alliance CSA program is composed of nine local farms that follow natural, ecologically sustainable, organic practices for growing food.
How do I sign up?
What do I get?
A subscriber’s weekly share consists of an assortment of 6-8 seasonal produce items, freshly cleaned and bunched. When picking up the share, you may be asked to make a choice between various items, like zucchini and cucumbers, for example. For a full list of typical seasonal crops and other offerings visit: What is in the bags?
How much does it cost?
After a one-time administrative fee of $25, the cost for a subscription is $25/week. Payments are due the first week of the month. You can register at any time. For other Frequently Asked Questions visit: How It Works.
