How a CSA works
You buy a share before the season starts, which gives the farm cash when it needs it most, and in return you get a box of whatever’s ready each week. Boxes vary with the weather: a wet June means more greens, a hot August means a lot of tomatoes. Most farms in Portland offer more than one share size, and several take payment in instalments or SNAP.
Details here are what each farm told the USDA. Prices aren’t in the directory, so check with the farm directly before you commit.
