CSA 2010 is Complete

We want to thank all those who submitted applications for the Red Wiggler Community Farm’s 2010 CSA. We have a limited number of shares available and many applicants. We limit our CSA to focus on growing in a safe and sustainable method for our fields and our employees.

Our farm is a unique Non-profit with a diverse social mission and we have many great events open to the public throughout the year. For those who’d like to possibly come out and volunteer with us, please visit the volunteer page of our website here.

There are lots of great resources for finding fresh, local food in our area. For other CSAs, we recommend looking at Local Harvest. They are a great resource. Each CSA is a little different and brings added benefits. The Washington Post also lists local CSAs in the beginning of February each year in the Food section of the paper. Here is last year’s (2009) article. Another great resource for local food are farmers markets. Here is the listing of farmers markets in the metro area.

We thank everyone for their interest and support and wish the best in local eating for 2010 and look forward to connecting with everyone in the future!
