Food Odyssey


We provide one share size for weekly pick up at three delivery sites.

Our 2010 sign-up brochure will be available shortly!

We do not offer half shares, but encourage members who feel a need for a smaller share to divide a share with another customer.  We have found that people who divide their share by each picking up the full share on alternate weeks have the best experience (no fighting over items, or trying to cut everything in half).

Payment for CSA shares is expected in advance.  This is in keeping with the notions that members are making a commitment to the future of the farm, and in recognition that the farmers' annual cycle of costs and need for income begin long before we have produce to deliver.  However, in recognition that many of our customers budget on a more monthly basis, we are this year accepting payment in installments between sign up and the beginning of the season.  Please call us at 360-256-3788 to make arrangements if you need to pay in installments.

Your shares will come pre-packed in a pillow case (this allows us to keep the produce damp and cool).  The shares are packed assembly line style, which does not allow us to customize individual shares.

 

Here is the pricing information for 2010 shares: Our regular season will again be twenty weeks, beginning in June , and ending in October. Our Winter Storage Vegetable Share will be available for pick up the weekend of November 13/14 , and will again be $100. The produce share is $450 this year.

About prices

Some people have praised and some have complained that we have a tally of the "prices" of certain items. We are not sure what to make of this, but in case you DO want to know the breakdown of a season's worth of produce, here is 2007's information by week:
