Remember the tenderness of Spring greens, the first tomatoes, discovering ho-mi-zi, the crunch of snap peas, more tomatoes, celery with taste, sweet sweet corn, and more...

What tastes and textures do you remember most from your crop share? We welcome feedback about the season at camasswalefarmcsa@gmail.com, or by mail at 91424 Coburg Rd. Eugene OR 97408.

Thank you for trusting in us to be your produce farmers. It's an honor to grow directly for families in our community. Growing for you inspires us to keep doing what we do. And as much as we love what we do, we will also enjoy a few months this Winter of slower paced work -- the winter work is focused on infrastructure and equipment maintenance, planning, sowing seeds, and hiring. Though most staff plan to return we will have two positions open, contact us directly or see our website listings in December for more information..

If you would like to extend your deliveries by a few weeks, here are a couple of options. Otherwise, we will be in touch in the new year about next season. First deliveries for 2027 will be in early May.

November delivery Add-on: To continue your vegetable crop share through November (four more weekly deliveries, up to Thanksgiving) login to your Farmigo account here and order the November/Fall Share Add-on.

December delivery Add-on: To continue your produce delivery into December, sign up for the customizable one drop December 9th Holiday Box ( Farmigo account link).

ABOUT PICKING UP YOUR CSA

Bring your own bag. Pick up at your pickup location and day (Wednesday or Friday) from 12-6pm. If you ordered an add-on, it will be packed in a separate labeled tote.

HOW TO PICK UP YOUR CSA

#1: Sign-in! the golden rule

Find & Sign-off your name on the sign-in sheet each week and please ONLY take the items listed next to your name.

This vital step helps ensure everyone goes home happy, including our site hosts and farmers, week after week.

#2: Locate your shares

Boxes are labeled as Small or Full. Summer Salad Lover Add-on shares are in a large tote labeled "Salad Add-ons"

#3: Unpack your tote & stack the empties

Please bring your own reusable shopping bag to transport your items - we’ll pick the totes up next week for reuse! We can use them for multiple seasons, reducing waste one box at a time.

USING THE WEEKLY SWAP BOX?

Swap boxes are green with flowers painted on them. Swap boxes are labeled and will stand out! If your pickup site has a swap box, please feel free to swap an item you may not want in your box with an item in the provided and specifically-labeled SWAP BOX. Please limit the swaps to one item for one item per week.

UNABLE TO FIND AN ITEM?

(Please do not supplement it with something else!) Contact the farm directly before taking something else. The sooner you reach out the sooner your item may be located.

SOMEONE ELSE PICKING UP FOR YOU?

(Please share all the details of how to pick up with them BEFORE they attempt to pick up -- BYO bag, take from the right size box, check off the right name). Friends and family picking up for others is the number one cause of pickup mistakes, and we thank you in advance for your consideration.

CSA FAQS PAGE

Since our hands are often tied up with roots, soil or kids we keep this information on our CSA FAQS web page.

VACATIONS

Every CSA member can put their share on hold in trade for a $20 credit per week, up to two. Login to your account and select your vacation dates or email us. Please request your vacation at least three days in advance to receive the credit.

REDEEMING YOUR VACATION CREDIT

Go to our Online Store to see availability for add-ons this week and to double check the value of your credit. You'll need to login to see your credit amount. In the 2025 season you can use your vacation credits to purchase add-ons electronically or apply the credit to a Fall Share. But as always, you can also just email the farm. Thanks!

NEWSLETTER ARCHIVE

Your current season of newsletters and many of our newsletters back to 2012 are on our website here. Find recipes from previous seasons. Friday CSA members can go to this link on Wednesday and see what this week's CSA has to offer.
