Three Rivers Community Farm
CSA members have the option to come to the farm either Tuesday or Friday from 2-7PM,. St. Louis members can pick up their CSA box at any of the farmers markets we attend or at a University City drop off site. A typical week will include between 8-10 lbs of washed, cooled, fresh and tasty produce, a variety of which depends on the seaon. All produce is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides. Pick-your-own items include peas, beans, cherry tomatoes, herbs, and flowers and are included in your membership. In addition, members are welcome on the farm premis to take a walk, have a picnic, and just enjoy the farm.

Three Rivers Community Farm is a small vegetable farm located on land leased from Principia College in Elsah, IL; just a ten minute drive up the River Road from Alton, IL. We are excited for our fifth growing season! Three Rivers Community Farm sells their quality produce through a CSA subscription program (St. Louis delivery available, or on-farm pick up Tuesdays and Fridays). We also sell at the Tower Grove Farmer's Market and Schlafley Farmer's market in St. Louis. We grow over sixty different types of vegetables, herbs, and flowers naturally, with no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. In addition, we raise a small herd of pigs on pasture for sale in the Fall and laying hens for eggs during the growing season. The farm is owned and operated by Amy Cloud and Jose Lara. We have been working on successful CSA's and organic farms since 2000.
