Fruit CSA

[helihu]

This week we’re signing up for our second year’s subscription to Tonnemaker Farm’s CSA (community supported agriculture – a share in a farm’s harvest). Tonnemaker is mostly orchard, so they deliver apricots, cherries, peaches, apples, pears, and more. We loved having a weekly box of fruit last year so much that I wanted to sing its praises here. The West Seattle drop location is Chaco Canyon on Tuesdays.

More information about the CSA is here:

http://tonnemaker.com/locations.html, or you can stop by their booth at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday.

The deadline for signing up is June 15.

We do the half box, which is more than ample for two people – we have to work hard to finish it during the height of the season.

You can also pre-order bulk boxes of one kind of produce for preserving or storage.

I’d be happy to answer any questions about our experience.

Enjoy!

Thanks so much for this! I’ve always liked the idea of CSAs but am not much of a veggie person. I’m way more of a fruit person, so this is fabulous! I’ll be signing up!

Please note their website says to give them a heads up by May 31st if you know you’ll be signing up, so they can plan appropriately, but the payment won’t be due until June 15th.

I second hopey’s thanks! I’d been considering signing up for another CSA (I used New Roots Organics, once upon a time) and this one sounds/looks great. I also appreciate that, if necessary, you can cancel at any time (for a small fee) and not be locked into some contract. What they typically include sounds right up the alley of this fruit-loving household. I’ll send them a note now. Thanks, again!
