News and ANNOUNCEMENTS


Fresh, local veggies, delivered to your neighborhood!

 We are trying a new CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). You pay up for the season in advance, in essence buying a share of the farm - ensuring the farmer is able to function and provide great local products. We looked around a lot and this is a 100% locally-sourced business, functioning as a co-op of farms, and also allows you to choose what you get in your delivery on a weekly basis. They also deliver to Greenlake and lots of other spots (or pick up at the farmer's market). They are looking to add a Maple Leaf drop-off, so please consider signing up so we can have fresh veggies delivered straight to our neighborhood!  Click here to learn more
