CSA Details

What Is CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way to buy your weekly produce directly from the farm. By becoming a CSA member, you pre-purchase a share of the summer’s harvest. Your early financial commitment allows us to buy the inputs we need to grow our crops. Then each week from mid-June through October, you’ll get a box containing a wide variety of freshly picked, organic produce and herbs The weekly boxes can be picked up at the farm or can be delivered to one of many convenient pick-up sites throughout the greater Olympia area, including the Olympia Farmers Market.

Our members enjoy over 100 varieties of organically grown vegetables and culinary herbs in addition to recipes and weekly CSA newsletters.

CSA SHARE DESCRIPTIONS:

FULL SEASON SHARE:
We offer two share sizes. Our “Regular” share is intended to feed a small family (2-4 people, depending on your eating habits). SEE SAMPLE BOXES BELOW. Our ”Small” share is ideal for individuals or couples.
Delivery starts in late June and continues weekly through October, for a total of 18 weeks. Because you pay up front and essentially “buy in bulk”, you will enjoy a considerable discount when compared to buying our produce from the Olympia Farmers Market.

HEIGHT OF THE SEASON SHARE: This share is great for folks who just want to try a CSA for a little while and not have to commit to a whole season. Vacationing in early summer? Money a little tight? Not sure you want to get a share all season long? This share is for you! Delivery starts in mid-August and continues for 8 weeks.

EXTENDED FALL SHARE: Four additional deliveries starting in late October when the main season ends. The start date will be announced once the main season has begun. Enjoy a wide diversity of hearty winter crops like carrots, winter squash, leeks, kale, parsnips, and more. Since these crops store so well, we only offer the regular size. We only offer weekend delivery of the fall share. You can pick it up at the farm or at the Olympia Farmers Market.
