Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a radical approach to the production and supply of food that builds strong, close and mutually beneficial partnerships between communities and producers. It’s defined as a partnership between farmers and consumers in which the responsibilities, risks and rewards of farming are shared.
At Middle World Farms we’ve adopted the CSA model to bring this new dynamic of food production to the heart of Lincolnshire.
Our methods provide you with fresh, local produce that’s grown in harmony with nature without chemical inputs.
All of this means that our veg boxes are not only delicious, but they provide a powerful yet easy way to support the climate, biodiversity, the local community and your health all at once!

Testimonials / Case Studies
The winter months are where our story begins.
Bed preparation is a major job where we add compost to the beds and put the covers on to protect against erosion and weeds. Crop planning for the coming season, ordering the seeds, buying in the potting mix all needs doing at this time of year. In 2023 we are going year-round so all this will need doing whilst we continue to feed you through winter and spring.
Your early support at this time of year gives us the chance to be fully prepared with the information we need on how much to plant.
With Middle world only having 2.5 acres, we are not recognised as a farm by DEFRA. This means we do not get basic farm payments from DEFRA. Early support form CSA members is how we finance the winter expense of the farm and ensuring we are ready to fill your boxes every week with fresh, high nutrient dense food.
Being only our 3rd year, your support is still critical for our continued success.
FAQs
- What will I get? See the ‘typical box’ diary for what grows ‘seasonally’. We’re weather dependent of course so this might move around a bit but you’ll have a good varied box each week.
- How much choice will I have? If there’s something you really don’t want we can swap it out for you (but we hope you’ll try everything!)
- When can I collect? you can collect from the farm on Saturday afternoon between 14:00 and 16:00. Bear in mind that we harvest to order so it really helps us to know who is coming and when.
- What if I’m away for a week or two? Just let us know and you can send a friend down to collect instead. Or you can make a donation to Mint Lane cafe for the homeless
- How many subscribers will there be? We’re aiming for 50 in 2023, we can accommodate more but that’s our target.
- Why should I sign up early? Honestly – because it really helps us to plan the year ahead and commit to developing the farm. We don’t want to grow more than we need and so knowing up front who we’re growing for is part of our planning.
