Zestful Gardens CSA
Support sustainable farming and receive fresh produce every week!
Benefits of a CSA
Zestful Gardens CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) members:
- receive the freshest produce possible
- develop a relationship with a local farmer
- participate in events on the farm and support sustainable farming
- receive a weekly share of 6 -10 fresh items, harvested that morning and selected from over 80 different varieties grown on the farm
Support sustainable farming
Community Supported Agriculture is an opportunity for people to buy the freshest produce possible, develop a relationship with a local farmer, and take control of the food distribution system.
You pre-pay for a share of the season’s harvest in the winter to meet the farmer’s operating expenses. In return for your investment, Zestful Gardens share members receive a steady supply of edible dividends weekly throughout the growing season. As a Zestful Gardens Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) member you also share the risk with the farmer. There is no guarantee that any crop will succeed, but at the same time, with over 80 varieties planted, the chances are high that the member’s investment will pay off! People who recognize the value of investment in their local economies are establishing a direct relationship with the small scale farmer who nurtures their food. Thousands of CSA’s are growing nationwide, reorganizing a small part of the food distribution system.
Our CSA
Our 2026 CSA will run 24 weeks and all CSA distributions will be on the Farm.
The Regular CSA can be perfect for one healthy vegetarian appetite or for a family of four depending on how frequently you cook. Some people like to split their share with a neighbor or friend. Small shares and every-other-week are also available. The small share is the same as our main season CSA, but fewer items and less quantity of food.
CSA Members may also buy add-ons such as eggs, greens, fruit (from Okanogan Producers Marketing Association), and meat.
Shares are available for pick up at the farm Tuesdays from 2pm-6pm or Wednesdays from 9am-12pm. Boxing is also an option ($7 fee), with pick up at your convenience.
