While the calendar is still very much saying winter, it won’t be long before the soil begins to warm and the first edible veggies begin popping up out of the ground on farms around Central Oregon.
While we love going to the farmers market every week we are all well aware that the timing of the market, especially the downtown Bend market, can make it tough for folks to purchase locally grown produce and meat each week.
Enter CSAs, or Community-Supported Agriculture. CSAs are a great way for you to get locally grown food all year long and support our farmers at the same time.
By purchasing a CSA you’re guaranteeing a local farm a guaranteed level of income that they can then use towards seed, labor, or the seemingly neverending list of other expenses that it takes to grow produce in this sometimes unforgiving desert environment.
How it works is each week your CSA farm harvests what is currently in season and packs up a box of fresh produce for you to pick up at a predetermined time and location.
If you’re ready to get started here is a list of CSA options around Bend and Central Oregon for 2025.
