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)
Helsing Junction Farm (starts June 19; regular and large 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
Tiny's Organics (begins June 22)
Tolt River Farm (begins June 16; pickup at Magnolia Farmers Market only)
Whistling Train Farm (begins June; small and large shares available)

Wanted to point out that you left out The Root Connection which does deliver to Seattle and does have a website: http://rootllc.com
They usually start 1st or 2nd wk of June.

Thanks for writing in -- I wasn\'t able to connect to Roots\' website when I was compiling the list earlier, so I left it off the list. But now it seems to be working fine.
