CSA Program Details
Share Size: We offer two
share sizes. Our "Regular" share is intended to
feed 2-3 adults or 2 adults and a few kids. (SEE SAMPLE
BOXES BELOW.) We are now offering a "Small" share
intended for individuals or very light vegetable-consuming
families.
Share Cost: Regular shares
cost $450 for an 18 week season and Small shares are $375.
A $50 is due upon registration. That is roughly $25 and
$20 a week, respectively.
Season Length: Delivery starts
in late June and continues weekly through October. Because
you pay up front and essentially "buy in bulk",
you will enjoy and considerable discount when compared to
buying our produce from the Olympia Farmers Market.

What Else Do You Get With Your Share?
In addition to a variety of fresh and delicious
vegetables and herbs, you will receive a farm cookbook full
of tasty recipes and tips on storage. A weekly newsletter
is included in each box that tells what is going on at the
farm that week and often additional recipes.
We host an open house farm potluck and farm tour in mid-summer
and also invite you to visit the farm on your own time.
(Please call ahead!)
