Find Your Farm at the 2023 CSA Share Fair Event

It’s that time again: time to choose your CSA share! CSAs, as I’ve written about before, are an excellent way to access a variety of local foods (produce, meats, eggs, etc.) and support local farmers, fishers, and ranchers at the same time. An easy way to hone in on what you want in a CSA is to attend the annual CSA Share Fair event, this year on Sunday, February 26, 10am to 2pm. It’s free to attend!

The Pacific Northwest Community Supported Agriculture Coalition (PNWCSA) is holding their 7th annual CSA Share Fair later this month. If you are at all interested in CSAs or are “CSA-curious,” this is the event for you. A CSA is an excellent, tried and true way for you to access fresh, local produce (and other products) while directly supporting farmers and other food producers closer to home.

Along with farmers markets, CSAs are a great way to access local, sustainably-grown food, and they’re not just for summer—many farms offer winter shares, too. This means you’ll get all sorts of delicious foods of the season—think brassicas (broccoli and Brussels sprouts), alliums (onions, garlic, leeks), and hardy greens like radicchio.
