Welcome to 2018
New Year New Look
We have a new logo thanks to our niece Katie’s brother-in-law, Douglas. We are excited about the new year and we are starting to order seeds and get prepared for the new year.
Check out the CSA Page to see what changes we have made to our membership structure.
We are offering full shares to last year’s members first we won’t have any new memberships available if they all renew. If you would like to be on the waiting list for a full share send me and email at chadn1@grandislandacres.com and I will add you to the list.
We are also offering a short season CSA share between July and August. We will have 6 of those available this year.

GI Acres is located on the western edge of Grand Island, Nebraska. The garden takes up about half of an acre. We also have chickens, rabbits and bees
Our farm is not USDA Certified Organic and we do not anticipate applying for such status. We strive to produce healthy vegetables using natural methods of fertilizing, building soil, and controlling pests such as insects and weeds. Those healthy vegetables will begin in mid to late May with herbs, asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries. During the season you can expect a variety of greens, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, squash, corn and potatoes along with tips about how to cook and preserve your weekly share. The season will conclude in late September or early October. We aim for a 20-week season.
We did not grow up on farms but we did grow up in families with large gardens, eating a variety of fresh produce and canning/freezing the excess. We have maintained the tradition of growing and preserving food for our family for the past 20+ years. GI Acres is our attempt to share that passion for good food with our community.
