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:

Boistfort Valley Farm (starts in June)

Dog Mountain Farm (summer series begins May 11)

Full Circle Farm (year-round service)

Growing Washington's Local Choice Food Box (begins in June; half- and full-size boxes available)

Jubilee Biodynamic Farm (summer season begins mid June; service mostly on-farm pickup in Carnation)

Lake Cavanaugh Farm (begins June 4; pickup locations in Wallingford and Mt. Baker)

Local Roots Farm (begins early June)

Oxbow Farm (begins June 10)

Seattle Market Gardens (begins May 23/24; small and large boxes available) — Seattle's only in-city CSA
