CSA Farms in Vancouver WA: Here’s What We Found While Looking for the Right One

Flat Tack Farms

So with spring fully here and summer creeping in fast, Maria and I have been talking about finally making the switch to a CSA. We’ve always loved the idea, fresh, local produce straight from the farm, eating seasonally, supporting small growers, but never quite made the leap. That might change soon.

We’ve been to Flat Tack Farm a couple of times, and it’s been such a peaceful, down-to-earth experience every time. The produce looked amazing, the vibe was chill, and everything just felt intentional. We’re seriously considering signing up for their CSA, but along the way, we started digging around to see what other options are out there in and around Vancouver.

Here’s what we came up with, a list of verified, solid CSA programs that might help you too if you’ve been thinking about joining one.

Wait, What’s a CSA Again?

CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture". It’s basically a farm share: you sign up for a season (usually spring through fall), and every week or two, you get a box of freshly harvested fruits and veggies, sometimes even flowers, bread, eggs, or meat depending on the farm.

It’s great if you want to eat more seasonally, cook with what’s actually fresh, and reduce your dependency on grocery stores. We still shop at New Seasons and Trader Joe’s for last-minute stuff, don’t get me wrong—but there’s something really satisfying about opening your fridge and seeing food that didn’t travel 900 miles to get there.
