To Whidbey Island friends,

The 2010 Maha Farm CSA (community supported agriculture) is open for 8 new subscriptions for Whidbey Island residents. So we will accept a total of 12 subscriptions this season.

So what do we offer?
20 weeks/a box each week of fresh produce grown using organic methods on our small family farm on Glendale Rd. We are not certified organic but emphasize locally and naturally grown practices. We value our nearby wetlands and always encourage composting and natural microorganisms.

We offer weekly salad greens, onions, usually a cup or two of blue or raspberries, seasonal veggies like snow & snap peas, haricot verts, edamame, favas, broccoli, bok choy, squashes, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, kohlrabi, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, garlic, beets, apples, figs and a lovely bouquet of flowers. We like to experiment growing Asian greens and assorted fresh herbs. We will have eggs available about every other week. The weekly box of veggies is good for a two person family that enjoys cooking seasonal produce. Our happiest customers are those who enjoy cooking and eating local food that was not shipped great distances using foreign oil. We are open to suggestions and will try to assist with special dietary needs.

Our cost next year will be $500 without the flower bouquet. Add $5 each week if you want flowers. Customers will pick up their veggies once a week (either Wednesdays or Fridays) at our farm. We are located at 4328 Glendale Rd. in Clinton, WA. Subscriptions are due April 1st. Please make a deposit to hold your place by Mar. 1st.
