COMMON QUESTIONS

Are we Certified Organic?
Yes, we are!

How much food can I expect in a Full Share?
A Full Share feeds roughly 2-4 people. It’s usually between 16 and 23 pounds of produce depending on the time of year . The CSA shares before the thanksgiving holiday and the winter holidays are on the bigger side, so you can share and feast more.

How much food can I expect in a Half Share?
A Half Share feeds roughly 1-2 people. It’s usually between 8 and 12 pounds of produce. The CSA shares before the thanksgiving holiday and the winter holidays are on the bigger side, so you can share and feast more.

What is CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Each season share members of the farm provide money in exchange for a weekly bounty of vegetables distributed throughout the growing season (every other week in the case of our winter season). This gives you a direct line to your food, by knowing your farming, trying new varieties and visiting the land where your food comes from. By making a commitment to the farm, you are entitled to the bounty, but also share the risk of the season. Occasionally a crop may fail due to inclement weather, disease, pest, or other conditions beyond our control. Our goal is to bring you, despite these challenges, an abundant and diverse harvest all season long.  For more information on CSA check out portlandcsa.org

Why CSA might be right for you?
By joining the Full Plate Farm CSA you will receive freshly harvested vegetables.  Fresh vegetables offer more nutrients to you, making them the best choice for you and your family. When vegetables are picked fresh and delivered quickly, they are not shipped thousands of miles across this land of ours.  And you all know that a thousand miles is a long drive inside a car. Then, of course, there is Taste!  Fresh vegetables just Taste better.  You know it and we know it, they do taste better. By joining Full Plate Farm you are also supporting fair labor practices, plant and seed diversity, water conservation, the local economy, a healthy ecosystem, and your belly. We also believe in having fun. 

Can I visit the farm?
Yes, come on out! We’d love to show you around. Just give us a heads up and we’ll let you know if it’s a good day to visit. A couple times a year we have harvest parties and potlucks. We’ll let you know when they are happening.

What are our farming practices?
We are a 5 acre certified organic farm. We cover crop to protect the soil from erosion, hold nutrients in place to put back at a later time, provide habitat for beneficial insects, and increase the soil’s fertility.  We rotate our vegetables throughout different parts of our fields and continue to work hard at increasing the tilth of the soil. Over the years we’ve closely worked with the NRCS to manage water, nutrients and cover crops in and out of our high tunnels. We also are Certified Salmon Safe.

What will I be getting in my share?
The staples of the winter share are carrots, beets, kale, collards, chicories (endives, escaroles, radicchios), leeks, winter squash, garlic, and herbs.  Mixed in throughout the season will be a smattering array of potatoes, parsnips, turnips, parsley root, rutabagas, brussels sprouts,shallots, onions, cabbage, and popcorn.  For a projected harvest schedule and list of vegetables that we’re growing see our vegetable matrix. The matrix is part of the crop plan we make to shape the farm’s season. It is a rough draft and subject to change.

If I need to leave the CSA is the share refundable?
Once you are signed up for the CSA your payment is non-refundable, however it is transferable, so you can find someone else to take over your share if you need to leave the CSA for any reason.

I don’t see a pickup site near my house/business, how do I create a pickup site?
If you have a site that you think would be popular, let us know and we’ll consider adding it.  Our driving range is limited but we can add sites that are on our route.  At least 5 shares are needed to make a new site. Suggest a new site here.

Do some of the vegetables we get come from other local organic farms?
Yes, we work with a couple Certified Organic farms in the area. Persephone Farm grows our garlic. Sauvie Island Growers grows our potatoes. If we ever source from another certified organic farm for an item that you’re receiving, we’ll let you know.
