Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, brings consumers and farmers together in a relationship of mutual support. CSA projects have started at small farms across the country as a way to maintain environmentally and economically sustainable agriculture. Our program began in 1988 when CSAs were still relatively rare; back then Fairview Gardens was the second farm on the West Coast to offer a CSA.
  
What is a CSA Harvest Share?
A CSA Harvest Share contains seasonal, organically grown fruits and vegetables that are healthier, fresher, and tastier than what’s available in the supermarket.
CSA members support a portion of the crops through a season long commitment, prepaying all or part of the cost so Fairview's farmers can purchase seeds and prepare fields in anticipation of the coming harvest.
Become part of our valued CSA community. Receive weekly newsletters with recipes and helpful tips. Enjoy regular farm visits and special CSA only events.
Every week on Tuesday or Thursday members select their produce from our market style display, arranged under the CSA roof at our farm stand from 1:30 to 6:30 pm.

As a member you have the choice of a large or a small share for the full and peak season.
- Large shares are designed for a family or two dedicated, vegetable loving cooks.
- Small shares work well for single folks and couples who cook most nights.
Work place Delivery???
We are researching collaborations to start work place deliveries for members. If you have a workplace that would like to be a part of the CSA, please email us the contact information at csa@fairviewgardes.org. We need a minimum of 15-20 members at the workplace for the delivery to become a reality.
Sign up for our CSA program on-line.
