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 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?

Registration will be handled directly with Rolling Prairie Farm Alliance. While KU is partnering to offer a convenient on-campus pick-up location, all registration, payment, and business questions go through the Registration & Payment link below.

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.

When and where do I pick up the share?

Every Thursday from 4:00-6:00pm, from April 24 – December 11, 2025, weekly shares can be picked up in the back drive-through of Price Computing Center located at 1001 Sunnyside Avenue on the KU campus.
