Here is our CSA Program (Community Supported Agriculture) in video form!  Back in 2014, we took a picture of each week's "share" and made it into a video.  This is what each member of our CSA Program receives each week during our growing season!  (Or, every-other-week for Half Share members!)
Farm & Brewery Tours
Tours of our Farm & Brewery are available on Saturday mornings from late March through late November. Tour includes a guided walking tour of our entire farm and brewery, and lasts about 45 minutes. Tours must be scheduled in advance, which can be done right here on our web site Tours page!
"Beer Share" News:

All beers on tap are available for your growler fills this weekend, except Unicorn Tears due to low quantities of that beer!  Current "Beer Share" Community Supported Brewery (CSB) Members, fill your growlers Fridays 4-8 pm, Saturdays 12-8 pm!   Remember, you may fill as many growlers as you like during your visit - you're not limited to just one.  Bring in your empty growlers, and we'll mark off your punch cards.  

Our "Beer Share", aka CSB Program (Community Supported Brewery) is an ongoing membership program that offers members a 1-year supply of our beer at discounted prices, plus additional discounts & benefits.  Learn more on our web site: http://www.wishfulacresfarm.com/csb-program
