Soup Connection Shares Q&A

How does the Soup Connection CSA work?

The Soup Connection Commnity Supported Agriculture (CSA) follows the CSA models used by many local farms. In a traditional CSA, folks pay a farmer (before the growing season starts) for a portion of produce that the he/she will grow that season. The Soup CSA works the same - except instead of purchasing a share of produce, you purchase a share of soup! For a "share" of soup, folks pay up front and then recieve soup (1-2 quarts) and a loaf of Crumb Brothers bread each week for 7 weeks.  

Is the soup delivered or do I pick it up?

Every week you will come pick up your weekly share of our savory soup! Some details about Soup pick-up:

• Location: 650 USTAR building
• Day of the week: Thursdays
• Time: 4:30-6:00 pm  

What makes Soup Connection Soups unique?  

All Soup Connection soups are vegetarian and made from local produce.

How did Soup Connection begin?  

The Soup Connection began last year as a supervised practice rotation for the USU Dietetics Program. The students developed the recipes, did the marketing, wrote on the blog, and made the soup! For more information on how Soup Connection  view the previous post "The Beginning."
