Tilth Alliance’s community supported agriculture (CSA) program provides 15 weeks of local and sustainably-grown produce, June 15-Sep. 21. Our CSA offers a hybrid approach with most crops being grown at Rainier Beach Urban Farm & Wetlands, and a few items each week sourced from other small Washington farms to highlight the variety and bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Our box is perfect for a small household looking to support local farms and eat seasonally.

FAQs:

What if I can’t pickup my box?

If you can’t make it to the farm stand before we close, we can coordinate next day pickup from our cold storage during business hours. If you’re out of town, we are happy to extend a one-time credit for a single missed box: $24 to spend on produce at our farm stand. Claiming a missed box credit requires at least 1 week advance notice. Otherwise, you are welcome to invite a friend to pick up your box or notify us that you would like it donated.

Can I use my EBT benefits to pay for a CSA share?

Yes, please email farmmarketprograms@tilthalliance.org to arrange for payment with EBT benefits.

Is everything organic?

While Rainier Beach Urban Farm & Wetlands uses all organic and sustainable growing practices, we are not yet a certified organic farm. The produce we source from other farms will similarly be grown using organic practices though not all farms are certified.
