CSA (community supported agriculture) is a relationship of
mutual support and commitment between farmers and
subscribers. With CSA, subscribers pay for a portion of the
farm’s expenses in advance and in return receive aweekly
share of the harvest. This allows the farmers to concentrate on
what they do best: growing healthy food.
In addition to providing you with a weekly share of the highest quality organically-grown local food, you are directly supporting small, family farms in your local economy and preserving farm land on Vashon Island.
CSA brings you into closer contact with your food sources and provides more community support for farmers. Youwill receive a wide variety of fresh, nutritious, organic produce grown locally by someone you know. You can talk with the farmer about your food, ask questions about anything, come to the farm and witness where, when, and how your food is being produced. This is not anonymous food ~ this is food that you truly KNOW.
How does the subscription work?
Our CSA season runs for 20-22 weeks from early June through October. As a subscriber, you pay for the entire season in advance, then each week during the season, you come to the farm to pick up a grocery bag brimming with freshly picked produce. In addition, you will receive Jasper’s weekly email newsletter chock full of nutritional info about the veggies, healthy recipes and suggestions for use of new or unusual vegetables, and news of festivities at the farm (farm tours, potlucks, workshops, etc).
We strive to supply our members with a wide variety of seasonal produce; to ensure such diversity, our crops are planted in succession so we can harvest a revolving cornucopia of mixed vegetables. As crops rotate throughout the year, weekly shares vary by size and types of produce, reflecting the seasons and local growing conditions. Here is a list of some of the crops we plan to grow this year:
Arugula ... Asian Greens ... Basil ... Beans ... Beets ... Broccoli
Cabbage ... Cauliflower ... Carrots ... Celeriac ... Chard ... Corn
Cucumbers ... Eggplant ... Fennel ... Flowers ... Kale ... Kohlrabi
Leeks ... Lettuces ... Melons ... Onions ... Peas ... Parsley ... Peppers
Pumpkins ... Potatoes ... Radishes ... Salad Greens ... Scallions
Spinach ... Summer Squash ... Winter Squash ... Sunchokes
Tomatoes ... Tomatillos ... Turnips ... Zucchini
