CSA: Community Supported Agriculture
The 2024 Main Season CSA registration is OPEN!
If you are interested in signing up, please email us at csa@gatheringtogetherfarm.com, and we will send you a form. You can also find registration forms at our Farm Stand and Farmers' Market locations!
CSA is a grassroots movement to bring consumers into a closer relationship with their food producers. Become a member of our CSA program to receive a weekly food box full of delicious, seasonal produce.
Gathering Together Farm started the CSA program in 1996. Over the years, the relationships we have developed with our members have proved important and enriching for all involved. We offer you a rooted connection to our farm and the food you eat.
​
This year, we will offer a Fall CSA too! See 2024 Registration Page.
Reasons to Become a CSA Member:
Convenience
We offer multiple pick-up locations in Corvallis, Newport, Portland, and of course here in Philomath.
​
Variety
We grow 40 different crops in 100 different varieties, so your box is always full of a diversity of produce. You can enjoy the convenience of a weekly box of produce which provides the finest fruits and vegetables of each season.
Benefits
As a member of our farm CSA, you will...
-
Eat locally grown, organic food harvested only a day or so before you pick it up, minimizing shipping and packing costs, and maximizing freshness and flavor.
-
Support a small family farm devoted to working in an ecological and sustainable manner.
-
Strengthen our community by re-establishing the link between farmers, food, and families.
What's in a CSA Box?
Your produce will vary from week to week, depending on what's in season. Take a look at our CSA Newsletters from last year to get a good idea of what you'll be getting in your box this year.
We make CSA boxes filled with a mix of staples and special veggies, last year CSA members found in their boxes sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, squash, spinach, kale, carrots, cabbage, strawberries, melons and watermelon, radishes, celery, celeriac, winter squash, leeks, broccoli, and more!
​​Vacation Policy
You may sign up for 2 vacation credits in the 21-week season. Tell us at least 7 days in advance, and we will give you a $35 coupon for a standard box, or $40 for a salad box. The more notice, the better! The coupons can be applied to purchases at the Farmstand, any market location, or to special orders during the season.
​
Location Switching
If you need to switch your pick-up location for one week, please notify us in advance so that we can make the switch before the boxes are wrapped and packed on the trucks. Last-minute emergency switches will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
​
Forgot your box?
If you forgot to pick up your box or you went to the wrong pick-up site, you can still get it! All missed boxes will be brought back to the Philomath Farmstand and can be picked up there any time until Thursday evening. Friday mornings and Monday mornings, boxes that have not been picked up will be donated to the gleaners.
