COALITION
C A S C A D E H A R V E S T. O R G
One of our greatest heroes, poet and farmer Wendell
Berry reminds us all of what we have and must not
lose, alerting us to the power of our determination
and actions – and that “all food is an agricultural act.”
Since 1999, Cascade Harvest Coalition’s “agricultural
acts” have been rooted in efforts to activate and
educate everyone, from policy makers to consumers
to the critical need to protect our natural agricultural
resources, to keep farmers farming and farmland accessible. We stand for transforming a food landscape
into one that sustains and builds successful farms,
thriving communities, a secure regional food supply
and active, aware consumers.
We all eat. And for those of us who live in the Puget
Sound region, we are supremely fortunate to have an
abundance of choices throughout the seasons given
the excellent growing conditions, land stewardship
practices and exceptional food that comes from our
farms, forests and waters.
But these choices cannot be taken for granted as
there are extraordinary pressures on both farmland
and farmers. Being actively engaged on where you
purchase your food and how you eat not only builds
a lasting bond between farmers and eaters; it’s a
sustainable choice for community food security and
health.
If that’s a mission that fits with yours, use this
directory to find the CSA that’s just right for you. For
additional resources on choosing a CSA on

How CSAs work:
Community Supported Agriculture (known as
CSAs) allows you to buy a “share” from a local farm;
in return you receive a box of farm-fresh produce
every week during the growing season. The farm
benefits from your financial and community
support. You benefit by receiving the best local
produce and getting to know your farmer. It’s
a special relationship that builds community,
supports our farmers and gives you first pick of
peak-fresh products.
Each CSA program is unique. Some deliver boxes
to your home or a central pick-up location; some
require on-farm pick-up. Some offer add-ons, like
eggs or flowers; some are produce-only. Some have
installment-payment plans; some require payment
up-front at the start of the season; and some offer
weekly pay-as-you-go options.
This guide offers information on both CSAs and
Home Delivery services. Generally, there are two
types of CSAs - traditional CSAs that grow all their
food on-farm and hybrid models that grow some
food and source from other farms as well as businesses, like local bakeries. Home Delivery Services
are generally not CSAs because they do not farm,
but they offer food from local farms as well as local
“value added” products (i.e. coffee, cheese). But as
3
with most things, CSAs are evolving, and more and
more are adding home delivery and value added
products to their offerings.
Joining a CSA is easy:
• Select a program that interests you.
Consider farm location, the size and price of
share, delivery or pick-up options and growing
practices as well as other amenities.
• Contact the farm.
Start by visiting their website - you’ll find plenty
of information that will help you make your final
choice and then follow up with both a phone
call and email. Many offer online registration.
• Don’t delay!
Many seasons offer a specific time frame, i.e. a
20-week growing season that might typically
starts in June and will run through the harvest.
As more and more consumers are using CSAs
you’ll want to sign up as soon as possible.
