Our CSA
The UK Community Supported Agriculture (UK-CSA) project is a part of the UK Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Department of Horticulture, and is an integral component of the Sustainable Agriculture and Community Food Systems (SAG) Undergraduate Curriculum. The CSA project links faculty, staff, and students from the UK community with the Organic Farming Unit located at the UK Horticulture Research Farm. The CSA project is not a commercial farm and is not managed for profit. All financial proceeds from the sale of CSA shares support the production of food during the growing season, student and staff educational activities, research and outreach.
All faculty, staff, students, and friends of the UK community are invited to sign-up for our CSA.

Claim your $200 voucher here FIRST if eligible.
Use your voucher code (emailed to you) and link blue ID (usually a combination of letters and numbers) 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 towards 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 if this is a purchase option for you. Do not attempt to purchase your combined share before contacting Erica as you may not be eligible to combine your vouchers.
