What Makes Our CSA Unique? Wanna Join?

Beautiful Sharing Gardens bounty!

Hi Folks - It's that time again. Spring planting has begun at the Sharing Gardens! Already we have beets, carrots and spinach sprouting in our greenhouses. If you'd like to join our CSA family in 2021, now's the time to let us know.

As most of you know, the Sharing Gardens is a unique kind of community garden. We share all of our surplus produce with local food charities, providing their recipients with access to delicious, nutritious, organically grown fruits and vegetables that they might not otherwise have access to. Your CSA membership helps us keep this service available.

Our greenhouses extend our growing season...

What makes our fruits and veggies unique? 

• Grown with locally sourced, "veganic" fertilizers: LINK
• Slow-grown food: because our food is grown without heavy, nitrogen-based, commercial fertilizers, our produce has less water-weight and more nutrient-dense.
• No herbicides or pesticides
• Wildlife-friendly
  

We provide food boxes from early May to mid-November (weather-permitting). Early birds who sign up before our official starting date (early-May) may receive additional smaller boxes of our early crops. And, though sometimes our heat-loving crops quit producing before our season officially ends, we try to always grow lots of winter-storage crops and make these available to our members to finish the season.

At the peak of the season, our boxes provide enough produce for an average family of four, or a couple who are focused on a plant-based diet. If you receive more than you can eat, we encourage you to befriend your neighbors and share the bounty or, if this is impractical, we have had couples who requested a customized smaller box. It doesn't cost less but they feel good knowing that they're supporting our project and that their surplus is going to feed those in need.

Our preference is for members who can pick up their weekly boxes at our garden-site in Monroe but if we have enough subscribers in Corvallis, we will arrange for a pick-up site there.

Cost per CSA "share": $700/year. ($400 payable ASAP/balance of $300 due July 1st)
