Welcome to Roots & Refuge, the Tapestry Farms monthly produce subscription

We're excited to offer a fresh, locally grown monthly subscription featuring hydroponically grown lettuce and other vegetables. Each month from January through April, subscribers will receive five heads of crisp, nutrient-rich lettuces and our farmers' selection of root vegetables, leafy greens, and herbs grown in our urban farm system at our hydroponics container. Members will enjoy locally grown, healthy greens and produce while providing key support to the Tapestry Farms mission of investing in refugees and providing welcome to all.

What is Community Supported Agriculture?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between a farm and a community of people who support the farm's operations. Members pay a fee to the farm, either in a lump sum or installments. In exchange, they receive a share of the farm's produce. CSAs benefit both farmers and customers. For farmers, CSAs provide a steady income and encouragement. For customers, CSAs provide access to fresh produce grown sustainably by people they know.

We offer a sliding scale. Here’s why:

We believe that fresh, healthy, locally grown food should be accessible to everyone. By offering a sliding scale for our CSA, we’re making it possible for more people to participate while ensuring fair compensation for our urban farm staff.

With this approach, those who can pay a little more help make it possible for others to participate at a level that works better for their budget. Our aim is an inclusive food system that benefits everyone. Becoming a member of our CSA is an investment in our mission to build resilience through sustainable agriculture and ensure that refugee families in the Quad Cities have opportunities to grow.

If you’re able, consider choosing a higher tier to help us grow the impact of Tapestry Farms. And if a lower tier is the best fit for you, we’re grateful to have you as part of the community.

Our Summer CSA will offer even more! Beginning in May, subscribers will continue to receive fresh varieties of lettuce, but with summer comes new bounty. Each farm share will include the freshest, in-season vegetables…all grown in the Tapestry Farms’ urban farm system.
