We’ve adapted and our biannual produce stand has been transformed into community-supported agriculture (CSA) boxes! Come get your local, fresh, and organic produce all while supporting farmers in the Puget Sound region. Each box is $18.00 and will contain a bounty of organic produce (10 different types of fruits and veggies).
Boxes are first come, first serve, so don’t delay as there’s a limited quantity available.

Once reserved, a confirmation email will be sent and online payment directions will follow. Pickups will be on campus and conducted safely and without contact.
All orders must be picked up on Tuesday, October 6 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. There are no refunds.
Why It’s Important
Like many businesses, farmers are hurting right now due to a lack of demand from restaurants, schools, and companies. Small, sustainable local farms are crucial for the health of the land as well as its people. Local farms help stimulate the community’s economy along with creating jobs.
Buying produce from local farms also reduces fossil fuel consumption used in transporting produce from other states and countries. Eating all locally grown food for one year could save the greenhouse gas equivalent of driving 1,000 miles.
