Founded in 2004 by Kristen Kordet, Blue Moon Community Farm provides quality pasture-raised meats and organic vegetables at farmers’ markets in the Madison Area as well as by CSA box and to many area restaurants. Growing steadily since their start, today Blue Moon sits on 5 acres in Stoughton and supplies 85 CSA members.


Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a great way to get healthy, local food while also supporting and forming great relationships with area farmers! Depending on your lifestyle and family size, there is a share that is fit for you. Many different farms offer CSA shares. Find them here



Blue Moon offers a Standard Share, Every Other Week Share, or a Late Fall Share, all featuring the freshest organic produce available, with an option to add a sustainably raised meat share (chicken and pork) to your regular order as well. Descriptions and pricing are available on their website.


All shares are available for pickup at their farm, located only minutes outside of Madison, on Wednesdays from 3-7pm during the market season. It’s also a great chance to visit their farm and see where and how your food is grown!

Don’t want to commit to a weekly (or bi-weekly) share? Find them at the outdoor Westside Community Market on Saturdays from 7am-1pm during the April-November season, and at the indoor Dane County Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 8am-noon during the November-April season.

Find all sorts of recipes, photos, and more CSA info on their website.






And join us at Graze for a benefit dinner in support of the Madison Area CSA Coalition (now Fair Share CSA Coaltion), on Sunday, May 6th at 6pm. 


Enjoy four courses in celebration of their 20th anniversary alongside veteran growers, long-time farm members, and other pioneers of the CSA movement. 


Tickets at $50. 
Call us for reservations at 608-251-2700.
