Community Supported Agriculture Subscriptions


We are busy planting for the summer 2011 garden. Little broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower plants have already been started. Onions are poking their heads through the soil and herbs are coming up too. Peas are swimming in all this rain, but they've been planted. Lettuce is growing quickly and we'll have lots of vegetable plants and vegetables to share in the coming months. We sell our items at the local farmers market - Polk County Bounty in Dallas as well as through our CSA and our farm stand.

Community Supported Agriculture or CSA’s have become a popular way over the past twenty (20) years for consumers to buy local and farmers to market their produce. Only a limited number of subscriptions are offered for seasonal products throughout the farming season. An important concept woven into the CSA model is the notion of shared risk. CSA members agree to accept the produce the farm is able to grow and acknowledge that there is no guarantee of specific crops where nature is involved.

All of our produce is raised using organic practices. We have a limited number of subscriptions available for this season with delivery/pickup options in McMinnville, Amity, Dallas, Monmouth, and Independence. We can make special arrangments for those in Salem. If you are interested, subscriptions prices are $420 for 20 weeks of vegetables. We have half subscriptions for $240. Please email us for more information.
