VALLEYBOX CSA PROGRAM
WHAT IS A CSA?
What is a CSA? Well, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Typically, a farm sells shares prior to a season and members then get a share of the crops produced for their investment. This investment goes towards normal operating costs like seed and supplies for the year. Ours follows those same lines, but just a little different. A share of that money is saved and goes towards the fruit that comes in our ValleyBox CSA. Instead of a share of just what the farm produces, we also add fruit to your ValleyBox every week. It doesn't get much sweeter than that!
ALWAYS FRESH, ALWAYS DELICIOUS
When you receive your ValleyBox CSA, your produce will be picked often times within 24 hours of delivery, while fruits are sourced within the week and kept refrigerated at the perfect temperature so they arrive to you juicy and flavorful at the peak of ripeness. The program begins the week of July 9th and runs for a full 16 weeks, with your final box being the week of October 22nd.
A GREAT VARIETY
Early in the season you can expect things like greens, radishes, beets, summer squash, cherries, and apricots. Through the middle of the season, expect to find the things above, plus others like sweet corn, cucumbers, summer squash, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, green beans, peaches, pears, and Flathead cherries. Toward the end of the season, your box will be filled with the above plus things like potatoes, onions, chiles, cabbage, winter squash, pumpkins, plums, apples, and berries. Selection changes each week. Weekly boxes contain about 6-8 items and average about 10-15 lbs.
LOCALLY GROWN VEGETABLES
Boxes contain a variety of our own locally grown vegetables. Sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, onions, potatoes, squash, cucumbers, and so much more! What we don't grow or don't have available we will source from other local and regional producers to fill your CSA membership box with a variety of fresh produce you're sure to love. We believe the closer your food is to the source, the better it will taste!
REGIONALLY SOURCED FRUIT
We select only the best tree ripened fruit from neighboring states of Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Idaho to bring you a delicious variety of peaches, cherries, pears, plums, apples, and more! Depending on availability, we may open our sourcing to additional states to guarantee a good variety in members' boxes. Occasionally you can find local fruit like apricots or raspberries in your CSA box!
