Join Daytrip Farm Collective’s first CSA and enjoy weekly produce boxes delivered to your doorstep from late June through mid-October 2026 — a total of 16 boxes filled with a variety of community grown in-season vegetables and herbs.
Each share includes enough produce to feed about 3–4 people, encouraging creative, seasonal cooking while supporting local farmers.

What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is a direct way for people to support local farmers and access locally grown produce. There are different styles of CSAs, all of them involving mutual commitments: people committing to purchasing a share of the season’s harvest from local farmers (typically before plants are in the ground at the farm) and the land and farmers’ commitments to delivering that harvest when it is ready.
This relationship is a way to guarantee an outlet for food and offer resources to the land and farmers that can be critical to growing the food.
History of CSA
The formation of the CSA model came largely out of resistance to white supremacist practices of the United States federal government through routine denial of access to loans and grants for black farmers.
In the 1960s and ‘70s , Booker T. Whatley, black horticulturist and agricultural professor at Tuskegee University in Alabama, advocated for pick-your-own farms and what he called “clientele membership clubs” which looked similar to many current CSA models, having customers pay up front for a share of the harvest to come later that growing season.
The CSA model was born out of the necessity to rely on support within local community networks rather than entrusting any support in the federal government who routinely withheld resources from black farmers. The model made it more possible for black farmers to plan their production, anticipate demand, have up-front capital for maintaining access to land and resources necessary for growing and tending to the land, and a guaranteed market for produce at harvest.
Our CSA
Daytrip Farm Collective is offering our first CSA for the Summer 2026 growing season!
You can get our produce delivered to your doorstep on a weekly basis throughout the summer, from the end of June though mid October, 2026 (16 boxes total).
Each box can feed about 3-4 people and will include a variety of in-season vegetables, herbs, and “fruits” such as tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. You may be familiar with some of the produce, and some of it may be new to you. CSAs are often a chance to get creative with cooking, while focusing on eating what is in season, locally.
All CSA produce boxes will be delivered to you directly via our partnership with B-Line, a local delivery service focused on sustainable delivery.
Make sure to check that you are within our delivery zone before signing up. The inner boundary (yellow area) will be delivered by trike, the outer boundary (grey area) will be delivered by electric vans.
What will be in the boxes?
We’re excited to grow a variety of herbs, veggies, and “fruits” this year. Check out our list of crops— if you enjoy these foods, are curious to try incorporating them in meals more often, and can come up with a plan to pass off unwanted foods to neighbors/others , we’re excited to grow food for you!
Here is a list of crops we plan to grow: salad greens, arugula, head lettuce, collards, tomatoes, beets, parsley, squash, carrot, cilantro, dill, kale, basil, tatsoi, broccoli, cabbage, radicchio, celery, eggplant, corn, green beans, fava beans, leek, onions, snap peas, hot peppers, sweet peppers, potatoes, radish, spinach
Sliding Scale Prices
We offer sliding scale price options (different price options for the same product) to make our produce accessible to more people and to help facilitate equitable resource redistribution.
We are not asking for any proof or explanation regarding your payment choice (Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3). We trust you to consider the guidelines in each tier, be honest about your needs, and pay what you can.
Payment Plans
We offer payment plans with five monthly payments starting June – and ending in October to cover the cost of the share.
For people paying with SNAP, this is automatically how we will process payment, but for those paying without SNAP, you can choose for payments to spread out like this as well. Click the button below to sign up for your monthly subscription or fill out the form to pay your full share amount up front.
SNAP + DUFB Payments
Through partnering with Pacific Northwest Community Supported Agriculture, we are able to offer SNAP payment options, which means we can process payment if you have SNAP food benefits. If you only receive cash benefits (allowing you to buy non-food items), then we unfortunately cannot process your payment with SNAP. Delivery cost is also covered by the PNWCSA Coalition for SNAP members, reducing the price of your share.
Through PNWCSA Coalition, we also have access to Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB). DUFB is a SNAP match program, so for every dollar that you pay for your CSA with SNAP/EBT, the CSA Coalition provides a matching dollar to Daytrip Farm Collective, making it more affordable for you while helping to support DFC. DUFB funding is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis. The program is well funded and likely to have funds available to match 50% of the total share cost. The entire contents of our CSA are eligible for DUFB and SNAP.
Reach out via email (daytripfc@gmail.com) if you have SNAP benefits you’d like to use for our CSA produce boxes and we will get you signed up together.
