CSA programs in the Willamette Valley and Columbia Gorge
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs give consumers an opportunity to purchase local, seasonal foods directly from growers. At the beginning of each growing season, farmers offer CSA membership to the public. When customers sign up, they receive a box of fresh produce each week. Cost varies between $400 and $800 for a 22-week growing season. Payment is often in advance. Some CSA programs deliver directly to customers, others to a central drop-off location. Winter is a good time of year to think about joining a CSA program. Most farms sell their CSA memberships months in advance.
The farms listed below represent just a small sampling of CSA programs that serve customers in the Willamette Valley and Columbia Gorge. Please contact these businesses individually to inquire about pricing and products.
