I've asked 57 people so far and wasn't too surprised that only a few people knew what Community Supported Agriculture was.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way that consumers can buy local seasonal fresh food direct from farmers. We pay a subscription fee or membership fee and each week we receive a box or bag of local fresh seasonal food, some foods you may have eaten before some you may not so food boxes are sort of like Christmas because you get surprises. This arrangement benefits both farmer and eater in a variety of ways, most important to me is receiving pure food and developing relationships with the farmers who grow the food.
Visit the Local Harvest website to learn more about CSAs and to find CSAs near you, your family, and friends because why not give CSA subscriptions to people you care about for birthdays, Christmas, wedding gifts, moving to a new area, etc. The gift of organic food is a terrific gift!
Currently the Local Harvest database lists 213 CSAs in the State of Washington!
Skagit Valley Farmers is my video journal of personal stories told by the women and men who farm Skagit Valley. Learn about their families, sacrifices, mentors, hobbies, ag issues, organic+conventional farming from field to office. We need more farmers. BUY something GROW something SAY something. My name is Denice and I'm an urban gal who made a rural transition and wants to connect you with Skagit farmers. I ♥ DRIVING TRACTORS and farm equipment.

I'm visiting two farms today and meeting the folks behind them
6:00 a.m.:
I'm pretty darn excited to be visiting the good people at Viva Farms in Burlington and Well Fed Farms in Bow today. You'll be learning what I learn soon so stay tuned!
9:00 p.m.:
Back home. What a fun full sunshiny day! I filmed 5 farmers at Viva Farms (including the Director Sarita Schaffer) and Katharine Isserlis at Well Fed Farms. Now comes the indoors stuff ... processing 6 videos and the photographs. Stay tuned!
