A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is a membership in your local farm. By purchasing a membership at the beginning of the season you make a conscious choice to feed your family and friends fresh organic vegetables and commit your support to local farms. Each week, June 6 - October 17, you pick up the very freshest of what the farm has to offer at one of our locations around town. CSA members also receive a 10% discount at our markets year 'round. Joining the CSA is a true commitment to buying and eating locally. As a member, you are literally purchasing a portion of the farm's harvest and as a result receive great bounty when plants thrive and also stand behind us when we encounter weather and crop difficulties.

We run our CSA a little differently than most. Rather than packing a pre-determined box for you, we set out the harvest each week and you choose the farm-fresh, certified organic produce you want to take home. Choose only the produce you like best from what the farm has to offer each week.

Choose from three membership options:
• Large, 8 different vegetables of your choice each week, $415
• Small, 6 different vegetables of your choice each week, $315
• Single, 4 different vegetables of your choice each week, $215

Choose your produce Wednesday afternoons, June 6 - October 17. It is important that you are available Wednesdays, because there is no pre-packed box - you will be selecting your favorite vegetables from the week's harvest!

Pick up locations:
• 2538 Harris in southeast Eugene, 3:30-6pm
• 2630 Charnelton in southcentral Eugene, 4-6:30pm
• 1920 Garfield in southwest Eugene, 4:30-7pm

Vacation credit: We offer vacation credit for up to 3 absences which you can spend any Saturday at our stand at the downtown Lane County Farmers Market. If you know you'll miss a few weeks during the summer, you can spend some credit at the Market before the CSA starts in June or spend your credit after the CSA is over in October.

The great things about Lost Creek Farm's unique CSA:
• No pre-packed box! You choose the farm-fresh, certified organic produce you want to take home - 4, 6, or 8 different selections, please.
• More interaction with other CSA members as you browse the offerings each week
• Great vacation credit
• 10% off year 'round at our Saturday Market booth

Other things to be aware of:
• Since there is no pre-packed box, you need to be available to choose your produce Wednesday afternoon-evenings, June - October
• We are frequently asked if the same selection of produce is available whether you arrive at the beginning or end of the pickup time. We have worked hard to make this so, but it does not always happen that way. We ask that each person take 4, 6, or 8 different vegetables each week, rather than doubling up on any one, so we can plan quantities appropriately for each dropsite. Yet, despite our best efforts, we occasionally run out of a type of produce by the end of the pickup time. The two most common reasons for this are: 1) everyone will suddenly choose zucchini one week after a spell of relative unpopularity - there is just no way to predict this, and 2) sometimes we have only a small quantity of a certain vegetable and decide to bring it knowing it will run out early, but preferring that at least some members enjoy it.

Lost Creek Farm is an Oregon Tilth certified organic farm in our seventh year of growing produce in the Willamette Valley. We are passionate about food grown as locally as possible and are thrilled to see our produce going to customers fresh out of the field, without being processed and packaged.
