Get Your Hands Dirty

Exchange labor for vegetables by doing a worker share at Orange Cat Community Farm. Take a look at these details and give me a call if you are interested.

  • Work one 4-hour shift per CSA box received (18 shifts for standard share, 9 shifts for every-other-week share)
  • Available shifts are 8am-noon M, W, R, F, and 1-5pm Wed (no evening or weekend shifts available); In 2023 I’m also looking for a worker share who can put in extra time in the busy month of May and also someone who could do the delivery on Thursday afternoons. 
  • Once you commit to a shift, you work that shift every week for the entire 18 week season, June-October.
  • We work in all weather conditions- hot, cold, rainy, snowy. Come prepared with appropriate attire.
  • Missed shifts must be rescheduled for another week or for a different day of the week- no canceling your box for the week.
  • Worker shares will be doing a wide variety of work, much of which is physically demanding. Worker shares need to be able to repeatedly lift 35lbs.
  • Being a worker share is a real commitment- more like a job, less like a volunteer opportunity. Please arrive on time and prepared to work.
  • Sorry, children are not allowed to accompany their parents on a worker share shift. Please bring them out to a farm event.

What to Expect in Your Box

The farm grows over 35 different kinds of vegetables for the main season. You will receive plenty of familiar standards accented by less common vegetables that maybe you have never tried before. That’s part of the fun! The kinds of vegetables you receive changes over the course of the season. The first boxes are a little smaller with many cool season greens, while late summer brings much more bounty and diversity.

What is a CSA?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a way to connect the consumer directly to the farmer who grows their food. Members purchase a share in the farm in exchange for weekly or bi-weekly boxes of produce. But it’s much more than just that. It is an opportunity to support a local farmer, be introduced to new foods, get in touch with your environment by eating with the seasons, and create community with others who are sharing the same experience. By joining a CSA you get something that many others don’t- you know where your food comes from and how it was produced. It just tastes better that way.

Financial Assistance

Partner Shares is a cost-sharing program administered through the FairShare CSA Coalition. It provides financial assistance to households in need for purchasing CSA shares.

If you would like to make a donation to the Partner Shares Fund, please check the box on your Orange Cat Community Farm sign-up form and include a check with your CSA payment.  Your contributions directly impact local, Sauk County residents. 13 Orange Cat CSA families utilized the program in 2022.

Health Insurance Rebate Program Several local health insurers have wellness incentive programs that reward you for signing up for a CSA. GHC SCW and Quartz will provide a rebate or points for making the healthy choice to eat more vegetables.

Here’s How It Works

  • Choose a share option/s
  • Choose a pick-up site
  • Fill out the online sign-up form
  • Mail your check payment- lump sum or four installments
  • Or pay with your credit card through the online store
  • Pick up your box of veggies on Thursday afternoons beginning in June
  • Enjoy!
