Vals Veggies CSA

Join our CSA program and support local agriculture while eating the freshest, tastiest veggies.

You pay up front for a season of produce and we in turn supply you with 20 weeks of the best vegetables. Our season this year will start June 12 for La Grande and Pendleton, June 13 for Baker City and end October 23 and 24, 2012

This allows you to connect directly with the source of your food and create a truly sustainable local food system.

Benefits:
For the eater, you get to start with the first fresh greens of spring, baby beets, young crisp green onions, and peas and on to midsummer with the lucious heirloom tomatoes and juicy corn on the cob, and on into fall with fresh taters, winter squash, and pumpkins. Every week there will be from 6 to 18 different items in your box depending on what is ripe in the garden.  Not only do you get the freshest vegetables that were picked just that morning but you are helping to keep your local economy thriving.

For us, the growers, we benefit by getting the money at the time of year we need it most, to buy seed and pay our employees.  We also can grow alot more varieties and try new things each year.  This year we will have over 80 varieties of tomatoes and over 60 varieties of winter squash and pumpkins.

This year we are offering 3 different sizes to better meet the needs of our members. A full size share will feed 4 Adults or a family, a half share will feed 2 Adults or a small family, a single is for 1 Adult.    Our full share box is valued at $725.00 for the season or over $36 per week of vegetables.  We start out with the cool weather crops and increase the varieties as they ripen.  You get a wide assortment of fresh, tasty, local vegetables, all grown with no chemical herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers.
