Community Supported Agriculture: How It
Works
Now there's a way to improve your health and help preserve our
dwindling farmland at the same time. Community Supported Agriculture
cuts out the middleman and puts fresh, pesticide-free produce on your
table.
Here's how it works. First, become a member by buying a "share" for the
growing season. Then each week, from June through October, pick up your
produce at the farm (located between Woodinville and Redmond) or at one
of our convenient drop sites in Lynnwood or Seattle. See the 2009 Signup form
for details.
Besides an ample supply of fresh, pesticide-free vegetables, farm
members can help themselves to the quarter-acre U-pick flower and herb
garden, including lots of basil. And city kids will enjoy exploring the
children's garden—
touching welcome!
Best of all, The Root Connection farm staff do all of the planting and
harvesting. It's all the fun of farming, with none of the work!
You can look forward to meal after meal of mouth-watering produce,
including carrots, lettuce, corn, tomatoes, spinach, chard,
beans, pumpkins, potatoes, summer squash, winter squash, and more.
Check out our harvest schedule to see what kind of veggies, and the quantity, you can expect each month.
The cost is about what you'd expect to pay for a similar amount of non-organic
produce at your local supermarket!
How to Sign Up for
the 2009 Season
The cost per share
for the 21-week, 2009
growing season is approx. $29.66 per week. Harvesting starts in early June
and goes through the end of October. For more information, see
the
2009
Signup form.
We will be mailing brochures for our
2009 CSA
program in February, 2009. To receive a brochure, call our 24-hour
number, 425-881-1006, and
leave your
name and address (please speak slowly and clearly!). Note: shares are typically sold out well before the season
starts, so it’s
best to
order your brochure and sign up early!
