Choose Your Box Options
Our CSA programs in Whatcom and Skagit counties offer a number of box options for our members to select from. Customers may choose from one or more of our NINE box options, in addition to a host of great add-ons items like milk, butter, cheese, pasta, and eggs.  If you want a seasonal surprise box chosen by our farmers each week we've got options for you.  You can get a half share, which is delivered every other week, a full share, which is delivered every week, or the Veggie Bomb, which is a ridiculous amount of food and delivered every week.  If you want to choose every single item that goes into your box each week we have several options through our Local Choice Food Box.  If you only want vegetables, we have a small and large vegetable-only box just for you. Only fruits? We can do that, too. We also now offer a combined fruits and vegetables box.

Select the box that best fits the needs of your family. If you find you want to make a change during the season, we are happy to accommodate you.
