Our CSA membership is full for 2017
​Thanks for all your support!

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 week, we'll set up a market style display of what's fresh and in season on the farm.  You bring your own bags or boxes to fill.  Each share includes a mix of 7-8 different vegetables plus a 1/2 pint of berries and/or a some fruit depending on what's ripe.  You can swap out items to suit your own taste.  The quality, taste, and diversity of our produce each week is something we are truly proud of.

WHEN & WHERE: Our CSA runs 20 weeks from mid-June to the end of October. 

• Seattle pickup is on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 7:00pm in a neighborhood backyard between Ballard High School and Ballard Goodwill. MAP IT Or pick up your share at the Sunday Capitol Hill Farmer's market.
• Tacoma area customers can pickup on the farm, on Thursday afternoons 4-7pm.  We are a 12 minute drive from downtown Tacoma.  Or pickup your share at the Thursday Broadway Farmer's market in Tacoma.

WHY CHOOSE US? Our market style pickup means you'll meet the farmers every week and chat us up for recipe ideas and news from the farm.  This means you get more choice than the typical CSA: swap out items you won't eat for stuff you really like.  We grow an incredible diversity of vegetables--every week will be different!  You'll get some berries, fruit and eggs (if you want them), too.  Members are invited to visit the farm and pick your own berries, flowers, and more!  Support a new farm--your investment makes all this goodness possible.

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

SHARE SIZE: The share is sized for 2 people who cook a few nights a week, or for a small family that doesn't want to be overwhelmed with too much produce.  If that sounds like too much, consider sharing your CSA with a friend or neighbor, or signing up for a half share (every other week pickup).

EGG SHARES: Our amazing eggs sell out at the farmers markets every week, but vegetable CSA members can reserve a dozen (or more) guaranteed all season long by purchasing an egg share!

​Here are sample shares from each month last season:

JUNE: 1 bunch spring onions, 1 bunch curly kale, 1/2 lb. sugar snap peas, 1 bunch carrots, 1 head broccoli, 1 bunch radishes, 1 head lettuce, 2 slicing cucumbers, 1/2 pint blueberries or strawberries

JULY: 1.5 lbs. heirloom tomatoes, 1.5 lbs. new potatoes, 1 red cabbage, 1 bunch basil, 2 heads fennel, 1 bunch carrots, 1 lb. Italian zucchini, 1 bunch Swiss chard, 5 Shiro plums

SEPTEMBER: 3 red peppers, 1 bunch beets, 2 lbs. fingerling potatoes, 3 yellow onions, 2 stalks celery, 2 heads Little Gem lettuce, 3/4 lb. Romano beans, 1 lb. Concord grapes

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER: 2 leeks, 1 butternut squash, 2 lbs. parsnips, 1 head cauliflower, 1 head broccoli, 1 head escarole, 1/2 lb. spinach, 2 daikon radishes, 2 Bosc pears

​
Going out of town? If you can't make it one week, consider having a friend pick up the share for you.  They will love you for it!  Alternatively, we can give you a one time credit to use at our farmers market stand in either Seattle or Tacoma.
