What
Is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
A CSA is of a community of individuals who pledge support to
a farm. Members purchase
"shares" in the farm's bounty from June to October, and get the
satisfaction of reconnecting to the land
and participating directly in the food that they eat. The Root
Connection
is Washington state's first
CSA farm. Since 1987, we have been growing
local,
chemical-free food for the community at our 14-acre site in Redmond,
Washington. Community Supported Agriculture allows small
local farms to thrive, protects vital farmland from commercial
development, and gives you and your family the highest
quality, fresh local produce. For complete information about how the
farm and membership
works, please read our brochure.
If you have any questions, call 425-881-1006 and
leave
a message.
The
first pick-up day will be Wed., June 2 if you are a Wed/Th person and
Friday, June 4 if you are a Fri/Sat person. IMPORTANT: You can not get
your share on a day other than your pick-up days, so please plan
accordingly. See
2010
signup
form for details.
Pick-up hours are Wed 12-6, Th 10-3, Fri 12-6, and Sat 10-6.
