Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between farmers and consumers. Consumers prepay for a share of the farm crops, receiving a weekly allotment of farm fresh, locally grown organic produce. The farmer receives working capitol up front to plan, prepare and plant the crops. Both farmer and consumer share the risks and benefits of the harvest, as the weekly allotment varies with the quantity and bounty of the harvest. To minimize the risk to our consumers, we rely on our years of experience in CSAs and farming to offer plans that are the most likely to provide a full and diverse share each week. If weather or other conditions prevent us from providing you with the quality and quantity of produce you deserve, we award our customers with product vouchers for the farmers' markets.

We are pleased to offer CSA Certificates in addition to our Spring & Summer CSA programs. CSA Certificates are unique in that the consumer decides what type and when they will receive their produce. The certificate enables the consumer to receive $275 in produce for only $250. The farm benefits in the fact we receive funds in the beginning of the season, when we need it to make sure that we have the resources to plant and care for a diverse and bountiful harvest. Our customers benefit with saving 10% on the purchases that they would normally make during the farm market season, as well as helping to ensure a great harvest this season. CSA certificates are convenient and make great gifts. Once we receive your order, we will mail out the check book sized certificate. Our market staff will record your purchases on the certificate and you will always know what your balance is.

Our Spring CSA is an appetizer of the great things to come. This share is designed for those that can't wait to start eating 100% locally grown seasonal, organic produce. During the month of May, they will enjoy a "greens" box full of the first greens and root vegetables on the farm. We will offer three sizes: Small, Medium & Large for one 4-week session, beginning May 8th. Since crops will just be coming on during this period, we will have a limited variety of produce, but this is a delicious way to herald the bounty of the season to come. Spring Shares will be available for pick up in Ballard & Beacon Hill on Sat, Lake Forest Park & Woodinville on Wed, the Farm on Wed or Sat, or the following farmers markets: Bellevue, Broadway, Columbia City, Lake City, U-District & West Seattle.

Our Summer CSA shares begin the week of June 5th and will continue in four 4-week sessions. Sign up for one, two, three or four sessions, with substantial savings for signing up for all four. We are offering the three sizes of Small, Medium or Large. We are pleased that to be offering Custom and Traditional Shares this summer. Last winter was our first season of offering a completely customizable CSA share and it proved to be really popular.
