Join Our CSA
Thank you for your interest in the UK CSA! We look forward to sharing a season of harvests with you. Check back in January to sign up for the 2026 CSA season!
Regular CSA Share
- Members will receive a weekly share of vegetables for 22 weeks. We will offer an early bird price before March.
- Members may choose between two pick-up sites on Thursdays: Campus pick-up inside the Horticulture Barn at 1505 College Way (4-6 p.m.), or farm pick-up at the UK Horticulture Research Farm (3:30-6:30 p.m.) at 4321 Emmert Farm Lane.
- CSA membership gives you exclusive access to you-pick designated items from our farm during the growing season like herbs and flowers.
Vouchers
- Claim your $200 voucher here FIRST if eligible. Use your voucher code (emailed to you) and linkblue ID when purchasing your share.
- If two individuals (employee/employee, retiree/retiree or employee/retiree) are on two separate and independent UK medical health insurance plans AND are married or listed as sponsored dependents for one another, you may be able to combine vouchers toward the cost of one share. Spouses or partners who are on the same health insurance plan cannot claim two vouchers; there is only one voucher available per health insurance plan. Please email eldimartino@uky.edu to confirm eligibility and see if this is a purchase option for you. Do not attempt to purchase your combined share before contacting us, as you may not be eligible to combine your vouchers.
- See more information on the CSA voucher benefit.

Or, support another CSA in the local Bluegrass region:
You have several CSA options in addition the UK CSA. While we really appreciate our UK community CSA members, we also want to encourage you to support local farmers. The KDA partner farm directory includes farms offering CSAs in Fayette and surrounding counties. Our goals are to prepare our students and to grow the local farm economy. Your membership in a CSA—whether the UK CSA or one of your other options—contributes to those goals.
