Skokomish Valley Farms

“CSA” stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is the term that small-scale and organic farmers have come to use for a season-long subscription to a share of what a farm produces. In exchange for a one-time prepayment, the farm provides you with a bag of perfectly ripe, hand-selected, organically grown fruits and vegetables each week. Your upfront payment helps us with cash flow during that tricky part of the year when everything has to be planted but nothing is ready to sell. In exchange, we work hard to provide you more value for your money over the course of the season. A CSA membership is more than just an exchange of dollars for anonymous food. Your investment and trust make you a vital part of the farm's operation. We would love to have you visit the farm to meet the farmers and get to know the place. To keep you in the loop, we send out a monthly newsletter with news and info from the farm and are always ready to provide recipes and ideas for using the food in your share. You will experience vegetables not available in your supermarket grocery store - some that you may not recognize. We also focus on heirloom and open-pollinated varieties developed over the years and grown for their taste, not for how well they travel in a truck to the store. Most of all, you will experience the exceptional flavor and health benefits of the freshest possible food, grown with intention and care by a team of dedicated farmers on a certified organic, local farm. The CSA will provide you a variety of seasonal fresh vegetables, herbs, and berries each week for 16 weeks from the beginning of June through September. We offer one size share of 6-8 items for $30/week. You can expect to find old-standbys (what would summer be without tomatoes and basil?) and new favorites (shishitos, anyone?) in your share, picked at the peak of their season. You can also sign up for a dozen organic, pasture-raised eggs with your CSA share each week, and/or home delivery through South Sound Fresh, our local food hub. We’ll be expanding our CSA this year in a few different ways! We offer a vacation option where members can opt for market bucks to spend at our farmers market stand if they know they’ll be missing up to 2 weeks out of the season. We’re also putting together a Fall CSA and probably mid-Winter CSA seasons - details still being refined! As members of the CSA, the farm gate is always open to you -- just give us a call! And thanks! There are as many reasons to join a CSA as there are CSA subscribers, but some of the common themes we hear are: You want to support and be a part of a local farm that is growing food without chemicals and working to develop a more sustainable and equitable food system You are in an eating rut and are looking for an easy introduction to a wider variety of food You want to experience seasonal eating, discovering in each basket a connection to the land, the weather, and the seasons that can be immensely satisfying You want to develop a relationship with a farm and its farmers - to know where your food comes from and the opportunity to visit the farm to learn The vegetables that are in your basket will change with the seasons.  What you will get in June will be different form what you will get in October. Each week we will aim to include 6-8 different kinds of fruits, herbs, and vegetables in the basic share size.  We use a "formula" for putting together each share and planning our growing season. Each week we will try to include the following: leafy green (lettuce, kale, collards, spinach) root vegetable (radish, turnip, carrots, rutabaga, potato) fruiting vegetable (zucchini, cucumber, tomato, squash, pepper) allium (leeks, onion, garlic, scallion) or herb (basil, thyme, sage, cilantro) head vegetable (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kohlrabi) extras: flowers, edible flowers, or berries when available Due to our harvest schedule and limited farm labor, adjustments to deliveries are difficult to accommodate
