Last Updated September 23, 2018
In the Valley, there is a community-supported agriculture (CSA) harvest subscription program for just about anyone. Do you prefer to pick up your box at the farm where the produce is grown or to have it delivered? Would you like eggs or flowers along with locally grown fruits or veggies?
Find a CSA that works for you with the directory below. Unless otherwise noted, the organization distributing the CSA also grows the produce.
