We love to share the bounty that nature provides us each year. That's how we like to approach our CSA program, as sharing our veggies with our family, friends and neighbors. The First Light Farm family and the communities we belong to reflect a diverse palette of tastes and diet which we like to accommodate with our CSA program by having a variety of options to choose from.
When you join a CSA program, you are supporting local, sustainable farms like ours. You're willingness to pay up front provides us with the capital we need to pay for seeds, soil supplies, and to pay our staff during the early months of work when produce isn't ready to sell. We thank you for your support!

CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
We serve multiple communities with our CSA program: Seattle and especially our neighborhood of Phinney and Greenwood, and our neighbors in Carnation/Duvall/Fall City and surrounding area. We deliver to the Seattle area*, but we encourage everyone who can to pick up at the farm!
With our CSA program, we harvest a weekly bag of seasonal veggies that we think you'll enjoy. We do our best to keep the weekly offerings balanced so you don't feel overwhelmed by one or two crops!
This program is great for folks who want to ensure they have a relationship with a local farmer, are eating seasonal and nutrient-rich fresh foods, and want to participate in helping sustain local farming.
There are two sizes (summer only) and five seasonal CSA options for you to choose from for our 2023 season:

From one of our CSA members:
"I care about the food I prepare for my family, and knowing that our neighbors, Don and Jane Reis infuse the vegetables I'm bringing to the table with their love, care and reverence for the earth that nurtured those vegetables is important to me. We've been the enthusiastic recipients of First Light Farm vegetables for 4 years and can't say enough about how much we enjoy them."
-Debra R , Farm Member
