CSA Crop Shares
Let Us Grow for You
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership welcomes you to connect with the farm and people where your food is grown. In its simplest form a farm community member contributes a certain amount to the farm at the beginning of the growing season, when seeds, fertilizers and other resources are purchased and planted. In return you become a member of the farm and receive a weekly share of the best produce and herbs, along with some fruit that the farm has to offer; weekly newsletters with recipes; and opportunities to visit the farm for events such as farm potlucks. Sign up before March 1 with the discount code "March1" for a discount on the total cost.
Participation in a CSA will introduce you to a truly seasonal way of eating. You will learn new recipes and will relish in the freshness of local produce, and become an expert in what produce is season. You can also count on a regular supply of traditional favorites.

Payment
Payment options are available including monthly installment plans. When you sign up on line you can choose electronic or check payment. The cost is less when you submit payment by March 1st. Enter the code "march1" at check out.
The best payment option for the farm is for you to pay with one single payment as it gives the farm an early season income stream to purchase seeds, building materials and other essential resources to get the season started. For single payment, pay online when you sign up or mail t0 the farm one check for full amount.
If paying in full is not possible, you may send in one envelope containing 5 post dated checks and we will deposit them in the 1st week of each month. For this monthly installments option, mail the farm five checks, one with today’s date and the others post dated for the 1st day of the following four months. Please make the checks out for the same amounts. Divide your total amount by five and enter that value to each check.
EBT/SNAP Payment Option: We work with PNW CSA to offer 50% off any CropShare, for eligible individuals. At the end of the online sign up choose “EBT payment”. Please note that if you only receive cash benefits (allowing you to buy non-food items), then we cannot process your payment.
This is what you can expect if you decide to purchase a share from us online with your SNAP benefits:
-
Member joins our CSA and selects "EBT payment" for payment type. .
-
We may confirm a few details with the member, then we will submit your info to PNW CSA. They will email a SNAP Processing Agreement to the member with all of the pricing and farm information pre-filled.
-
The member has 7 days to print, sign, and mail this agreement to the Coalition. We will remind the member by email after 7 days if this hasn't been done.
-
After we receive the agreement, PNW CSA begins processing the SNAP payments from the member on our behalf. Assuming there are no issues with the member’s SNAP benefits, members will not hear from the Coalition again. It will seem like automatic bill pay, with payments coming out of the member’s SNAP account monthly on the day their benefits are issued.
-
If PNW CSA does have a problem processing the member’s payment, they will contact the member directly to resolve the problem.

Member Pickup FAQs
What do I need to bring to pick up my share?
Bring your own bag to pick up your Crop Share. Leave the plastic totes at the pick up site.
What if I can't pick up my produce or I'm late?
For best quality, we recommend picking up your share as early as possible especially on hot summer days. In special circumstances, some pick up sites have the ability to leave your share until 10am the next day in good condition. Shares not picked up by the designated times are donated to the Relief Nursery or the First Place Family Center. Email the farm if you need to pick up your share late.
What if I'm on vacation?
Two deliveries per season may skipped with at least three days notice prior delivery day that you would not like to receive your share. Login to your account to request a vacation date or email the farm with the vacation date(s). We’ll credit your account $20 that you may use towards the purchase of add-on items or towards the purchase of a Fall CSA.
What if I want to add-on items?
To add-on items to your normal CSA box, login to your account and visit the online store. Add items to your cart. You should be able to use “credit” for your purchases if you have credit. In early June you’ll primarily find hot sauce and t-shirts. Later in the season you’ll find 3-10 lb increments of peak season crops like tomatoes and cucumbers, offered to CSA members at wholesale prices.
