Looking for a Seattle area Organic Farm or CSA?
I am in the Seattle, WA area and am looking for an Organic farm that delivers or an Organic CSA that has a drop spot near my home. I have used Helsing Junction Farm in the past; however, they only offer 18 weeks of produce during the growing season and I am looking for a year round solution. Any recommendations or referrals are appreciated.
