Open Season on CSAs

The summer growing season is coming, and if you want to get in on a community-sponsored agriculture program this year, you'd better sign up soon. Puget Sound Fresh has just released its 2008 CSA directory [PDF], a four-page guide to Washington farms with subscriber programs. Here are the farms that deliver to Seattle and have websites. They all say they're taking applications; no word on who's full up on subscribers and who's not:
