CSA: It’s not just for summer anymore

  • Post author:

seattle tilth produceEvery spring we do a round-up of Community Supported Agriculture providers that deliver to the Wallingford area. What with the Wallingford Farmers Market shuttering for the winter this past week, we thought it worth mentioning that some CSA’s do keep going year round.

Seattle Tilth’s Fall CSA is an extension of their summer share, and still features a weekly box of “full of fresh, delicious, 100% local, ecologically grown produce,” with one deliver per week throughout November.

Four weeks of great storage and fall crops! Each week may include a root, allium, leafy green or salad green, winter squash or other fall vegetables. Boxes include an average of $15 per week of farm fresh produce.

Tilth’s CSA also has a social good angle: the farmers are immigrants, refugees and people with limited resources. Tilth provides not only a distribution channel for them, but also training and support.

Thanksgiving Turkeys and pork shares are also available.

I've lived here since 1998. I spent 13 years at Microsoft as a developer and manager, concurrent with Ballmer's reign. I quit after seeing my third consecutive project cancelled, while my parents needed help, and my wife was getting stressed working at Seattle Public Schools. Since then, I have helped family and community while taking on side projects and volunteer work. I led the renovation of Meridian Playground, helped moderate the South Transfer Station design, helped advance the Green Lake Way road diet, and have guided several transportation and parks projects through neighborhood involvement. I wrote for Wallyhood for a while and was president of the Wallingford Community Council during the great recession, where thankfully, land use was not an issue. I'm an impatient moderate vegetarian who believes in practical win-win solutions.
