Crossroads Community Farm
We opened our doors in 2005. Located in the town of Cross Plains, Wisconsin, we are a family farm raising an abundance and great variety of organic vegetables every year. With 13 seasons under our belt, we take great pride in growing high quality produce. We directly market our produce through our CSA, at our farm stand at the Westside Community Market, and to various grocery stores and restaurants in the Madison area.
Please explore our website to learn more about us. And thank you for supporting local, organic, family farming!

OUR CSA
2018 marks our 14th season. And with CSAs, experience matters. We know how to fill your CSA box with quality produce every week of the season. And because of our continued investment in farm infrastructure and equipment, we are able to maintain high quality vegetable production even in the face of challenging growing years.
SOLAR POWERED FARM
We have 54 panels on the barn and another 24 on our home. These two systems provide enough power to slash our electrical bills. The system offsets 30,000 pounds of carbon dioxide annually, the equivalent of emissions from burning 33 barrels of oil per year.
RECIPES AND RESOURCES
Learning how to use the bounty in your box each week is one of the most exciting parts of CSA. To help you create delicious dishes with your fresh vegetables, we provide recipes in our weekly newsletter. Simply type in a vegetable by name and instantly find archived recipes that utilize it.
FARMERS MARKET & MARKET SHARE
Come visit us at the Westside Community Market every Saturday during growing season to purchase produce directly from us. We also offer a Market Share that allows Farmer’s Market customers the opportunity to join as a member of our farm community. Buy a Market Share and we’ll hold your share card in our booth to deduct your purchases whenever you make purchases at our booth.
WCM is a vendor-run market, located at UW Digestive Health, on University Row Ave, just west of Whitney Way and University Ave. on Madison’s west side. In addition to our veggies you can find meat, eggs, cheese, yogurt, baked goods, chocolate, perennials and more. Free coffee is a great bonus, as well as the easy parking.
The 2017 farmer’s market season runs from mid-April through early November. The markets runs from 7am – 1pm on Saturdays.
