7 Seattle-Area CSA boxes that provide gorgeous produce all summer long
If you agree that the best part of summer is the fresh produce coming from local farms, then you’re going to love these Seattle-area CSA boxes.
CSA, or community-supported agriculture, is when you support a farm by paying upfront for their products, and they deliver a weekly box of farm-fresh fruit throughout the summer and fall.
By enrolling in a CSA, you’re supporting farmers directly. All of the money you spend goes straight to helping them care for their orchard and pay their employees during the season.
CSA boxes also offer you the opportunity to support a local farm, buy fruit at a discount, and conveniently have it delivered directly to you.
Here are seven of our favorite Seattle-area CSA boxes:
