Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose the contents of my box?

On occasion, the FarmGirls will invite you to pick out an item off the market stand. It's a great chance to try something new or return to a favorite!

Can I change my pickup location?

You can change your pickup location two times during the season. We ask that you give us at least five days to make the necessary arrangements.

What happens to my weekly share if don't pick it up?

When you don't pick up your share, it is donated at the end of the market to the food bank or a vendor in need.

Can I visit the farms?

The FarmGirls will invite its CSA members to visit the farm and have a look around. We'll send out the date at the beginning of each season.

Can I work at the farms?

There is always work to be done on the farm. One of the best ways to help out and get your nails dirty in the sun is to harvest potatoes.

The farm hires thoughout the season so feel free . Also check out our farms' job listings and others at Tilth Producers of Washington.

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?

Community Supported Agriculture is is a great way to support your local farmer while trying new and exceptional produce. Under the CSA model, members — at the very beginning of the season — buy a "share" in the farm's harvest. Members pay for their share early in the spring, helping the farmer shoulder the costs of starting the season: seeds, labor, equipment, greenhouse expenses, etc. In return, members receive a weekly distribution of the farm's harvest.

CSAs offer farmers stability and members fresh, healthy, and delicious produce. All this, plus CSAs help support responsible land management, connect people with a local food source, and create a sense community between members and farmer.
