Q: What is a CSA share?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, where an individual or household subscribes to a local farm for the growing season. Your Oxbow share connects you to your food supply and provides fresh, local, organic produce that is grown almost exclusively on OUR farm and harvested within 24 hours of delivery. We hand harvest everything at its peak for unsurpassed flavor and nutrition.

Our Summer/Fall share provides 20 weeks of organic produce, from June through October, and comes in two sizes Family share and Small share.

Q: When does the CSA start?

Our Summer/Fall CSA typically starts the 2^nd or 3^rd week of June. This all depends on the spring weather and crop maturity, we want to make sure we have enough to fill your first box to our standards and it’s all up to the weather (farmers complaining about the weather is a common theme, you will learn).

Q: When do I need to sign up?

We ask that you sign up and pay by May 31^st. But if there is still room in our CSA we will gladly accept new members after that date, and as necessary pro-rate the share cost.

Q: Where are your pickup locations?

We have many pickup locations around Seattle in Wedgewood, Ballard, Wallingford, Capitol Hill, Montlake and Madrona. And Eastside locations in Redmond, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Woodinville, Duvall and Carnation.

Q: Do you offer work shares?

Yes! You can sign up to work 4 hours a week for 20 weeks in exchange for a small share (or $400 towards a family share). Now here’s the small print: You cannot share your work commitment with another person because you will be a part of a trained crew, and you cannot miss more than 2 weeks of labor and still receive your share of produce.

Q: Do I need to bring bags or can I take the box?

A: Either is fine. If you do take the box, keep it in good shape and return it when you pick up your next week’s delivery so we can reuse it. The boxes are expensive, plus we want to use them as long as possible to keep them out of the waste stream Don’t break-down your box down unless you are confident that you can do so without damaging the box. You will be provided with a great illustration on how to break down a box without breaking it in your first newsletter.
