Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a great way to get local, seasonal produce direct from a local farmer.

Would you like to enjoy more delicious, fresh, sustainably grown food from a local family farm this summer? Would you like it delivered at work? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a great way to get local, seasonal produce direct from a local farmer.

What is CSA?

Joining a CSA is a simple way to eat more healthy, delicious, and sustainably grown food, support Oregon family farmers, and save money on groceries. In return for money paid to a local farmer up front in the spring or at intervals throughout the growing season—May through October—you get a weekly harvest box of fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits directly from the farm during the growing season. Members pick up weekly produce boxes at work.

Why join a CSA?

  • Enjoy delicious, fresh, sustainably grown foods.
  • Get the best value for your food dollar – the freshest, most delicious produce at a competitive price
  • Get to know the source of your food – Love Farm Organics invites members to visit the farm for planting and harvest activities, providing you and your family with the chance to experience the farm first hand.
  • Support Oregon family farmers and our local economy.
