I’ve started updating the Community Supported Agriculture page with information for 2009. I know there are more farms out there in the Willamette Valley that offer CSA programs. If anyone wants to drop me a line with details, send it to mwvlocal at gmail dot com. Meanwhile, I’ll keep searching online.
Laughing Duck Farm, located in Lewisburg, is still accepting applications for their CSA program, which started in the first week of June. Farmer Drew Mosher says he will pro-rate for the missed weeks and is looking at a lot of great stuff in the ground right now. For prices and a list of products head over to the website’s CSA page. Pick-up locations include Corvallis, Lewisburg, Newport and Portland. The program runs through October 31st. They also have an egg share that’s on a separate program — at a very reasonable price. Best of luck to the farm, and I hope some folks will sign up for this CSA. I think I will sign up if they’re still taking customers at the end of June!
I’m looking for someone who will write a guest entry to review the CSA program they belong to, and their first boxes for the year. I’ll also take more than one volunteer, if the boxes are from different CSAs. Please send an e-mail to mwvlocal at gmail dot com.
We had a visit to the blog by Jim of Heavenly Harvest Farm. He commented on an earlier post about CSAs that Heavenly Harvest is still accepting CSA sign-ups. You can make your payment clear up until May 20th for the best price. Looks like they’ll accept payment after that, too, but it would be a little more. You can have a dozen eggs added to your box each week for just $66 for the entire season. That’s only $3 for a dozen large, free-range eggs from Turpen Farms in Corvallis each week. Good deal. Pick up options are as follows: Good Samaritan Hospital, Friday, 1pm to 4:30pm Heavenly Harvest Farm, Tuesday or Friday, 1pm to 7pm Corvallis Market, Wednesday, 8am to 1pm Beaverton Market, Wednesday, 3pm to 7pm Ecotrust Market, Thursday, 6pm to 8pm Eastbank Market, Thursday, 6pm to 8pm Corvallis Market, Saturday, 9am to 1pm Newport Market,...
Information about CSA boxes will be on this resources page: Community Supported Agriculture I found out that sign-ups for the Gathering Together CSA closed in March, but I’ll keep researching this for the next few days and adding info. If anyone out there has info on CSAs still accepting sign-ups, please leave a comment on this post!
