Cal Poly Organic Farm’s (CPOF) Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program, a yearlong vegetable subscription offering. The Farm is now accepting new members for the 12-week Spring Season and 24-week Spring/Summer Season. Both seasons will begin on March 30th. A condensed 10-week student season will begin on April 6th. The membership forms are attached to this e-mail. To learn more about CPOF’s CSA program in general or to download a membership form, please visit: www.calpolyorgfarm.com Please note, the CSA Program typically fills to capacity. In order to secure a spot, you are encouraged to submit your membership form along with payment at your earliest convenience.
This page will hopefully help provide information about where to source locally produced food, as well as local businesses such as coffee roasters, etc. The goal is to give people information so they can make decisions about where to spend their food dollars. If you have suggestions for listings, email them to me via the contact page -- thanks!
