THE LOCAL CHOICE FOOD BOX
Eating local, made easy.
The Local Choice Food Box is a collaboration of organic and sustainable farms across the Puget Sound area. Starting in June, our CSA members customize a box of farm-grown fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, bread, and other local goodies, which we deliver to neighborhood and workplace pick up locations every Thursday. It's an easy way to have local, organic, chemical-free food grown specifically for you by some of Washington's finest farmers.
Not only is ours the oldest multiple-farm CSA in Washington, it is also the only one that offers its members total choice of what food items they get each week AND guarantees that every single item is local. We are the only choice for those who want to have total control over what they eat, and want it local, too!
Your farmers at Growing Washington, along with over 25 of Washington's finest organic specialty crop farmers, will take care of feeding you this season. We grow and harvest your food, pack your personalized box, and deliver it to your neighborhood, home, or workplace in less than 36 hours.
Everything that you will eat from your weekly boxes is grown locally. This means that you'll have to go elsewhere for your lemons, limes, and mangos. But, the beauty of our box is learning to eat in season, and you'll be amazed to find up to 200 choices per week during the peak of the season. We farmers in Washington grow a wide diversity of crops, and we are excited to bring them all to you!
WHO
Our farm team grows over 200 varieties of fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, livestock, and also has a commercial kitchen where we make things like jam, pickles and dressings. We team up with dozens of the state's best specialty crop growers. Our farm is certified organic, and nearly all of our partner farmers are as well.
WHAT
As a member of our CSA, you essentially buy a share in our farm's harvest, and we pay you back by bringing you the best local produce every week for an entire season! Your membership directly supports local farmers.
