We've had the pleasure of receiving Klesick Farms Box of Good for years... maybe a decade or more?…read moreWe love them and can't imagine living without them! Every week, right as rain, my cooler is out on the porch and magically, filled with yummy stuff! The produce is the best on the planet, seriously. Fresh, delicious, picked sometimes the day before! Yesterday's sun still clinging to the leaves! When I've given friends different fruits and veggies they always agree, it's not just tasty but it last longer than any organic fresh foods you can get at a grocery store. So, it saves us $$ ! We usually order the Northwest Box, as that allows us to eat the most local, seasonal foods. Wintertime we go back to a broader area to choose from, a treat as well. I go online to order more produce, or great steel cut oats, or rosemary rolls from The Breadfarm in Bow, or maybe albacore caught and packed in Oregon or Alaskan salmon or many various sundries, and the laundry soap? Lasts forever, is so compact, without the fillers and waters and unnecessary chemicals. It's gentle on my sensitive skin and strong enough to deal with my husbands undershirts. Makes great gifts, too. This company, this community of people, is so caring and giving, their farming is sustainable and so is their place in the community. Through them I can choose to donate food to my local food bank and my local recovery café or internationally on things like water & food projects. We love Klesick Family Farms!

My friends and I were looking for a little day adventure and we found this blueberry farm. It was…read moreso much fun to go out (it was a beautiful day) and come home with almost 16 pounds of blueberries! I picked about 8 pounds and paid only $15. When you get there, there's a small table with walker talkies for you to page the owner. The owner of the farm come out and talks to you about the blueberries and tell you to page him if you have any questions or need any help. The blueberries are beautiful and to me seemed very organic, no pesticides or herbicides seemed to be used. My friends participate in the "CSA" box that this farm offers that delivers a box or fresh vegetables and food to your door and a scheduled regular drop-off. They said some of the vegetables they've never seen before and they love experimenting with different foods they can make. Such a great local farm! Definitely a family friendly excursion!

Items were well selected and I had very little produce go to waste. The half share was a good amount for my wife and I. I also really liked the add-on options; we were out of town one week, and were able to get credit, we used our credit to select goat cheese and honey from the add-on options. That goat cheese was truly incredible! I've also got to commend Seattle Tilth for their educational programming and community empowerment work. Really a great resource for our city.

I am so grateful to have found this place for my summer planting. I got them on a random Google…read moresearch and decided to go for a little drive. They are both a nursery and organic farm and have a ton of plants to choose from. You can tell by the attitudes of the employees and the quality of the plants available that a lot of care goes into their business. We got mostly veggie starters and a few plants and got out of there for a little over $50. For that we pretty much filled up the back of the car. Most of the plants we got were around $2.50, in great shape, and ready to go. It is located on an old dairy farm, so it is kind of fun little "go to the country" road trip. They are very easy to find. Just take a I-5, exit 208 and go east. I mention this since my GPS refused to find State Route 530...

Garden treasures is a cute spot-- it offers a lot of variety regarding crops and other goods, and…read moreit's just overall a very nice spot to walk around in, especially in the summertime! I am ALL for buying local, and if you can afford it, this spot could be perfect for you... I think most will find it's not the most affordable. Example-- they are selling a box of apples for $35 but you could easily buy 20 pounds of apples for $20 from many of the local families in Stanwood/Mt Vernon/ Arlington. Garlic bulbs at Garden treasures are 20$ a pound-- again, you can get boxes of garlic bulbs for much cheaper from other nearby family farms. I could go on. Again, if you can afford it, this is a cool one stop shop for good crops. For my family (we are farmers too) it's just way too expensive/ not a good bang for your buck at all... especially in this economy. My suggestion is-- look to FB marketplace for amazing deals on seasonal crops, you'll get a lot more for your dollar and you're still shopping local.

I love Farmer's market and will drive totally out of the way to check one out. Today was one of…read morethose days. My original plan for the day was to checkout the Shipyards in North Van., until I saw a post on instagram for the market. So glad I went. The setup was very similar to many of the markets in the Lower Mainland with many of the usual vendors like A Bread Affair, Gingeraki, and Mukasi Coffee; all very good vendors. I even bought a cold brew ($4) from Mukasi. The only vendor that was new to me were the people selling Tamales, wish I took a pic. They had a huge line and it looked as though people were really into the fresh juice they sell. Tough to really "grade" farmers markets since the vendors tend to change every week. I'm giving it 5 stars because I just love farmers markets and there were enough vendors to make the drive to UBC worth it. It's also a very good alternative to the Trout Lake market which is awesome as well, but finding parking there is a chore. Assuming it's nice next week, I'll probably be back.

We've belonged to the CSA program for a few years now and will renew for next year absolutely…read more I enjoy fresh vegetables grown organically (they won't claim organic farm because it takes a lot to certify that (per a Midwest farmer friend), so following organic processes is good enough for us), and even more so I enjoy paying the farmer directly instead of the middlemen. The CSA program shares the farmers' risks: if it's a poor growth year, you might not get as much but at least the farm isn't crazy financially at risk. If it's a good year, you get tons of healthy veggies. It's normally a good year. A super bonus not many leverage: fresh flowers you cut every week.

Christa is kind, cool and friendly whenever I have questions or want anything in particular. The main love I have for them is that everything is organic AND plenty of variety to select from! Yams, carrots, garlic? They gots 'em, yo. Their booth size is very decent covering a variety of roots, greens, herbs and jams. Lately, I've been loading up on potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams for steaming and baking. They're located south in the arcade - just a short walk north from the flying fish crowd. Thumbs up & much love!

After one bite, my husband (who mostly ate spinach has his primary veggie), announced, "I never thought I liked beets, but these taste sooo good!!!" Growing Washington changed the way we cook and eat!!! We've been members of this CSA for three years and have offered our front porch as a hosting site. They provide 100% LOCAL and ORGANIC fruits, veggies, and even butter, flour, fresh flowers, herbs, and eggs. All the products are fresh and unique. The BEST thing about this CSA is that they provide a LIST of all the FRESH stuff on the farm that week, and you CHOOSE what works best for your taste, cooking style, and needs. You can be adventurous one week, and conservative next week. It's all so flavorful and delicious. I've been particularly impressed with the service. We've been going with the CSA for three years and anytime there has been questionable quality they always replace it, no questions asked. Two weeks in a row we got some icky misuna, and the third week they sent us FLOWERS. I always feel like I end up on top. Just another reason to love summer in Seattle.

The veggies themselves are super fresh and it's a great variety. We've definitely had more variety when we were in CA since it's bigger farms but we still walked away with chard, Tokyo Bekana, 2 types of lettuce, delicious beets, herbs and more. Super happy to have access to the fresh veggies for the remainder of the season and having it be an interactive family outing and learning for our 2.5yo daughter. Stephanie and Claire are amazing and have such great customer service. Due to the heatwave we brought our fruit from the Redmond market in and in our rush, we forgot it there and by the time we got back, someone took it on accident. Stephanie called all the members with fruit pickups to see who mistakenly took it. To our surprise they found the person the day later and we're getting our fruit!
