The amount of land in production for all respondents ranges from 0.75 to 640 acres. This is
skewed by a handful of large farms: the median is 20 acres. Areas for the CSA operations themselves
range from 0.07 to 45 acres with a mean of 6.7 and a median of 3.5 acres.
CSA land as a percentage of total land farmed for all respondents is 37 percent on average with
a median of 20 percent. This may be skewed because some farms with CSA/market garden
operations were unable to identify land area used only for the CSA operation. For those farms with
additional operations beyond CSA and market garden production, CSA land as a percentage of total
land farmed ranges from 0.3 percent to 56 percent, with a mean of 12 percent and a median of 5
percent.
Many operators (73 percent) own all of the land in production. Amount of land owned, not
including those who only rent, ranges from 0.75 to 640 acres with a median of 20 acres. Half of these
farms own five to 70 acres. Just over one quarter (27 percent) of the farms rent some or all of their
land.
In comparison to the national survey, which claimed that “a large proportion of CSA
operations do not own the land they operate” (Lass et al.32 p.7), we see high percentages of land
ownership for Midwest CSA farms. Also, the national survey indicated that 23 percent of CSA farms
own no land compared to 15 percent of the midwestern farms surveyed.
