CSA: Dirt Rich Farm

We would like to invite you to join our CSA program for the summer of 2019!

Located in Canby (20 miles outside of Portland), Dirt Rich Farm provides farm fresh vegetables throughout the Metro Area. We grow nutritious food by cultivating healthy soils naturally without the use of synthetic fertilizers or herbicides.

Our vegetable share contains 5 to 10 fresh items each week. Produce includes roots, vegetables, greens, salad mixes, culinary herbs and a very limited amount of fruit. Items are selected by seasonal availability, quality and freshness.

We offer three share sizes: -Quarter Share (feeds 1-2 people) $200 (every other week pickup) -Half Share (feeds 1-4 people) $375 (weekly pickup) -Full Share (feeds 1-4 people) $700 (weekly pickup)

How Our CSA Works: In the late winter and early spring, CSA members purchase a share for the 22-week main season. Each week, members receive a selection of seasonal produce harvested at the peak of flavor and quality.

A CSA is a mutually beneficial partnership between Members and Farmers. At its heart, the program relies on members and farmers coming together as a community to share the risks and rewards of local food.

- Potential Risks: Natural risks are inherent in food production, and it is possible that some crops may fail or be damaged due to poor weather, drought, disease, or unexpected frost. We grow a diverse array of crops in order to mitigate this risk; if one crop fails, we have more!

- Rewards: varied seasonal produce of the highest quality and nutritional value, community building with farmers and other CSA members, sharing in the bounty of bumper crops, and assurance that your food is being produced ethically

Dirt Rich Farm will act in good faith to: -Provide fresh produce for the duration of the season -Support the health of our members, soil, and watershed by not using synthetic fertilizers or herbicides. -Promote diversity on the farm to naturally limit our exposure to pest and disease. -Utilize appropriate season-extending techniques to mitigate weather (ie covering fragile plants with row fabric in case of frosts)

Thank you for your interest in our CSA. Together we will eat well and continue to strengthen our community!

Your farmers, Kerry, Allison, and Ryan
