Welcome to our new website!
Months in the making, our new website includes many features we think you will really like, such as:
- Online registration for our e-mailing list, also online sign-up to volunteer, to make a donation, and to become a member.
- Credit card payments now accepted online, or, as in the past, you may mail a check for payment.
The tools on this new website will save paper, time, and money. To make these improvements without reinventing the wheel,
we have adapted a common website "shopping cart" software program, so "Add to Cart" is part of the sequence if you purchase a CSA share. That terminology is built in, so you will also add to your "cart" to make a donation or volunteer.
- To do a transaction, you will need to register. It's easy and you need to do it only once. See the Register/Sign In page.
- We will be phasing out our old systems, so those of you who have been on our snail mail list in the past: please register online so we can more efficiently communicate with you.
- We respect your privacy, of course, so any and all information collected at this site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, loaned, or otherwise disclosed.

The Green Earth Institute is a nonprofit organization established in 2002 to promote nutritional
health and environmental sustainability. Using our organic farm as a demonstration and learning center,
we grow healthful vegetables in an earth-friendly way and educate about nature, nutrition, and caring for the earth.
On our 60 acre farm located in south Naperville, Illinois, a suburb 35 miles west of downtown Chicago,
we grow over 40 crops of nutritious, delicious organic vegetables, and sell them through our community-supported
agriculture (CSA) program. For children we offer gardening and nature appreciation programs, and for adults
we offer information and instruction about nutrition and environmentally sustainable practices for home, yard, and garden.
