Fresh, Local Produce From Our Fields to Your Table
Siskiyou Sustainable Cooperative invites you to join us in reaping the benefits of our harvest this year! |
 |
We have 200 produce “shares” available for the 2008 season, on a first to sign up basis through our Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA program. More and more people want to know where their food comes from and how it is grown. The CSA connects consumers directly to local farmers. As a CSA member, you can support local farms by investing in shares of the upcoming harvest, and receive a weekly supply of high quality, fresh, clean produce.
The farmers of the Siskiyou Sustainable Cooperative are committed to providing the highest quality, fresh, clean food to our community. We grow all of our food without chemicals or synthetic fertilizers. We grow many heirloom and specialty varieties you will not find in the supermarket. This is an opportunity for you to eat clean, healthy in-season food, support local farming and keep your food dollars local.
How it works
Once a week, your produce box is delivered to a pick up point near you. You transfer the produce into your own container. We pick up the empty boxes and deliver again to the drop off point the following week. You will enjoy a bounty of fresh, delicious vegetables, herbs, and fruit throughout the season (Click here to see our harvest calendar). The season’s produce deliveries will begin sometime in late May or early June and will extend into October, although nature will determine the exact dates. You will receive a weekly newsletter with recipes, descriptions of what's in your box, and news from the farms. If you are away on a delivery date, simply arrange for a friend or neighbor to pick up and/or use your produce.

Visit the farms
You are welcome to come and see where your food is grown. We will host farm days and at least one work party this season.
Strength Through Diversity
The farmers of Siskiyou Sustainable Cooperative grow high quality produce without chemicals or synthetic fertilizers. With several farms growing a wide variety of crops, the chances for major crop failure are minimal; however, if a specific crop does fail, the CSA concept is that we all share the loss.
Eat in Season
On any given week, your produce will contain what is being harvested at the farms. Boxes in late summer will contain more than boxes in early May or June (see harvest calendar). Your freshly harvested fruits and vegetables will be healthy, clean, and delicious, and your food dollars will stay local.
