Be part of a CSA at Yacolt Mountain Farm!

    1. To eat healthy fresh seasonal produce straight from the farm at a discounted price. 

Being a CSA member means getting a weekly box of veggies that was literally just picked the morning of the pick-up or the evening before in case of a morning drop. We hope to have U-pick opportunities for our CSA members in the near future. By committing as a CSA member you will receive a discount off of our market prices on all products.

2. To support a local farm and buy directly from the farmer. 

Buying a CSA share means supporting our farm. It gives us security that our products will be sold and gives us funds when we truly need them. Instead of buying produce that comes from unknown places, has traveled many miles and gone through many different hands, buying directly from us gives you the satisfaction of knowing exactly where your food comes from. Unlike relying on labels or hoping that no chemicals where sprayed on you food, you can trust that we will never spray any chemicals on your food and if you have any questions on what we feed our chickens or how we do things we can answer you right away. 

3. To spice up your food experience by trying new vegetables and tastes.

Many times, people who join a CSA will receive vegetables that they would never purchase at the store. This is truly an opportunity to experience new vegetables and recipes. We understand that certain vegetables may not be peoples favorite and we allow people to request substitutions for unwanted vegetables. Many of our CSA members have told us that getting weekly vegetables gives them a great reason to explore new recipes and that eating vegetables that are harvested fresh has allowed them to enjoy vegetables that in the past they did not like.

• Our goal is to provide you with a minimum diversity of 5 different products in your box each week. 

• We prioritize our CSA members as our most important customers and give them our best and our most limited products. Thus, some products that our CSA members get will never make it to market. 

Every year we listen to our customers comments so that we can provide a diversity of produce that is appealing and exciting. We cannot guarantee what will be in your weekly box as the weather and other growth factors challenge the success of each crop differently each season, however this is what we have had in our boxes in the past (this list is just a example of what we may have):
