ut This Class : The Chefs’ Best Friend
Want to know where the top chef’s in town buy their exotic gourmet greens you can’t find in the grocery store? Foot Joy Farm.
Walk into the back of any fine dining restaurant in the cities as just ask the chef what they think of Chad Forsberg. First a wry smile will cross the chef’s face and then the stories start…. “Oooooh, did you try his micro Thai basil, its mind blowing!” Not only is he truly the nicest guy you’ll meet but produces the coolest, most rare fresh produce with the utmost passionate care.

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
At their most fundamental level, CSA farms provide a weekly delivery of sustainably grown produce to consumers during the growing season (approximately June to October). Those consumers, in turn, pay a subscription fee. But CSA consumers don't so much "buy" food from particular farms as become "members" of those farms. CSA operations provide more than just food; they offer ways for eaters to become involved in the ecological and human community that supports the farm.

Footjoy Farm is a specialty produce farm located between Black River Falls and Sparta, Wis. We run a small CSA and deliver produce to many of the finest restaurants around the Twin Cities. The best chefs always look for the highest quality produce and our farm shares are loaded with the same produce these chefs look forward to every week. We grow many heirloom vegetable varieties that bring unusual colors and Old World flavors to heighten your culinary experience.
Our shares run about 20 weeks, starting in June. In the first weeks you will see a lighter mix of salad greens, lettuce, green garlic, peas, radishes, rhubarb and broccoli. As we get into the summer you will see an abundance of beans, zucchini, beets, carrots, cucumbers, eggplants, red peppers, onions, garlic, shallots, melons, herbs, potatoes, turnips and heirloom tomatoes. We produce many other specialty crops for the restaurants; at times they find their way into the CSA shares and make for wonderful surprises.
You won't be disappointed with the quality nor quantity of the produce in our shares. When the season allows for abundance, we provide it, giving away boxes of heirloom tomatoes and other extras to our members.
We have several drop-sites around the cities but are looking for new members to host drop sites in the Uptown and Downtown areas. Please call for more details.
