Our CSA is full for the 2022 season.  Thanks to all for your tremendous support of our farm!

HOW IT WORKS: CSA members receive a weekly share of the best our farm has to offer, at a discount over farmers market prices.  Each share includes a diverse mix of 7-10 different vegetables and there's always a trade box in case you want to swap out an item or two to suit your taste.  Although primarily a veggie CSA, a few weeks out of the season we include some fruit or berries grow on our farm as a bonus.  As a small farm dedicated to our CSA program, we are certain that you'll be impressed with the quality, diversity, and flavor of what's in the share each week!

COVID-19 STATEMENT:  We consider the health and safety of our customers and crew a top priority.  Our entire farm crew is COVID vaccinated and we will continue to follow state and federal mandates for COVID safety.  Both our pickup sites are open air and are large enough for an extremely safe level of social distancing.  If anything ever feels unsafe about your shopping experience with us, please let us know immediately so we can make changes.

WHEN & WHERE: Our CSA runs 22 weeks from early-June to the end of October.  There will be optional pre-season shares in May and post-season shares in November for CSA members only.

• Ballard pickup is on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 6:30pm in a neighborhood backyard near the Ballard Goodwill. Approximate location on Google Maps
• Tacoma area customers can pickup on the farm, on Thursdays, anytime 10:00am to 6:30pm.  We are a 15 minute drive from downtown Tacoma or Puyallup.  See our location here
• Seattle Central District pickup is Wednesdays 2:00 to 7:00pm on a front porch near S Dearborn St and MLK.  Limited space available at this site.

WHY CHOOSE US? The CSA program is the backbone of our farm.  We plan virtually all crops around the 22 week CSA season.  With only 2 acres in production, we can achieve a level of quality, taste, and freshness that larger farms cannot match.  You'll be amazed at the diversity of selection from week to week.  Support a small scale, family farm--your membership makes this all possible!

WEEKLY NEWSLETTER: Members get weekly recipe ideas and stories from the farm.  Here's a SAMPLE and ANOTHER

SHARE SIZE: The share is sized for 2 people who cook a few nights a week, or for a small family that loves a diverse variety of veggies but doesn't want to be overwhelmed with too much produce.  The half share option is the same size as the full share, but half share members pick up every other week for a total of 11 weeks.

EGG SHARES: For veggie CSA members only.  Our amazing eggs are unlike anything you'll find in the grocery store and can be added on to your CSA share for a discount over retail price.
