We are excited to release our 2012 CSA information!
If you are ready to begin, please follow the link below. The process should be self-explanatory if you read carefully. We are happy to walk you through the registration process and/or do the entire process for you if you’re having problems.
Please note we are offering a half share size this year in addition to our regular sized share. You can sign up for the Main Season (22 weeks) or the Winter Season (7 weeks) or choose both to make a total of 29 weeks. If you would like to participate in the Winter Season, we recommend securing your spot sooner than later, as registration is on a first come first serve basis and shares are more limited.
The best way to learn about our CSA is to look at our detailed, weekly CSA newsletters which have the box contents as well as farm news, recipes, photos, notes on produce and more. Please click the link to view.

Portland shares are delivered on Thursdays and are in the 4:00- 5:30 pm range. Members pick up their produce bins on or after the delivery time. CSA members may either take bins home and return them the following week, or produce can be transferred to a personal bag. In general we allow a 24 hour pick-up window with exceptions if contacted. The Farm Stand pick-up has a 48 hour window.
Box Contents
Box size and content reflects the abundance and diversity of the particular growing season and thus are always subject to certain elements beyond our control (i.e. the weather). However, our box model is simple: consistent staples plus weekly diversity. Staples include salad greens, onions, garlic, fruit (mostly blueberries, more strawberries every year), tomatoes (once available), potatoes, and herbs. Weekly diversity includes two to eight additional vegetables.
Weekly Newsletter
Every week you will receive an electronic newsletter full of information about your produce, news from the farm, recipes and farm events. Paper copies can be mailed upon request. Click the archive link to view all of our past CSA newsletters which include great photos, farm news, recipes, notes on produce and more. Newsletter archive
Farm Events
Two farm events during the season with tours, farm activities, and great food are a wonderful way to see where and how your food is grown and to meet the farm crew as well as other CSA members.
Vacation Credit
Two weeks of vacation credit is available (one week is $26 credit) redeemable during the 2012 calendar year at our Salem Farm Stand or farmers market booths in Salem. If you live in Portland, we can arrange other options for redeeming credit through the regular CSA drop sites. Please allow three days advance notice. Vouchers are e-mailed upon request. Vacation credit is not refundable nor can it be used towards other CSA payments.
