Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a win-win, providing steady income for farmers and helping them know in advance what and how much to produce. Participants get fresh, local, even organic produce throughout the growing season, as well as specialty items, like meat protein and farm-made goods. Here are some options to help you start your own farm-to-table movement.
LINC Foods
The LINC Box offers six pickup locations — Airway Heights, Cheney, Gonzaga University, Liberty Lake, North Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho — for 21 weeks and includes a recipe specially prepared by Pantry Fuel, a Spokane-based meal delivery service. Add eggs, artisan bread, coffee and other items for an additional weekly fee.

Choose from three, 12-week growing seasons — spring, summer, fall — to receive produce and eggs pre-packed into a cooler you swap out weekly at a convenient location on Spokane's South Hill. Pay weekly or in advance, including for the variety of meat package ($1,000/full).
