What’s a Harvest Basket?
Based on the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, the Harvest Basket program is a partnership of mutual commitment between our farm and you, a local eater. Harvest Basket members sign up for our 28-week season and in return receive a diverse array of vegetables, fruit, berries, herbs and recipes each week from June through December. The season usually kicks off the week of Memorial Day and ends in mid-December. We take the week of Thanksgiving off, for a total of 27 CSA deliveries in a 28 week period.

How Many People Will a Harvest Basket Feed?
It depends on your eating habits, but most members say that a Harvest Basket is ample produce for two to four enthusiastic veggie eaters who mostly cook at home. A few especially zealous folks have managed a whole basket themselves - they do a lot of freezing, juicing, and preserving - while others have split it 6 ways. What's in your harvest basket follows the arc of the season, so a weekly share in June might include: 1 pint of strawberries, 1 head of lettuce, 1 head of pac choi, 1 bunch of radishes, 1 bunch of spring onions, a pound of broccolini, a few stalks of rhubarb, 1 bunch kale, 4 artichokes and some early zucchini. A weekly share in September might include: 1 head of lettuce, 3 sweet peppers, 2 hot peppers, 1 pint of berries, 1 bunch of carrots, 1 cucumber, 8 ears of corn, 3 lbs of potatoes, 1.5 lbs of tomatoes, 2 zucchini, 2 bulbs of fennel and 1 bunch of herbs. Shares can be slightly lighter in June and early July, but heavier in the late summer and fall when the harvest is at its peak.

How Much Does it Cost?
The value of the Harvest Basket averages around $34 per week but fluctuates with the season. A basket in early June might be worth $25, whereas a basket in late August might be worth over $50. We accept cash, checks, PayPal and SNAP/Oregon Trail EBT (all SNAP members pay half the cost of the CSA and Double Up Food Bucks covers the other half, see below for more details!). In a typical year, you receive about 10% more produce than you pay for over the course of the season, making the Harvest Basket the best bang for your buck. To make our CSA more accessible, we offer the following payment options:

2024 Pricing:

• We offer a $25 discount on all Paid In Full Harvest Baskets ($950 for 2024 instead of $975).
• We offer a Monthly Payment Plan option for those who need to spread their CSA payments out over the season (for 2023, a $375 deposit is due by April 15 followed by six $100 payments from June through November = $975)
• We accept EBT/SNAP and are part of a program called Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) where SNAP members receive matching funds through DUFB (you pay half the cost of the CSA - $487.50 divided into 7 monthly installments - with SNAP, and DUFB covers the other half). Please note the DUFB program only applies to SNAP food benefits, not SNAP cash benefits.

Abby's Greens Salad Shares, Too!

We offer an optional Abby’s Greens Salad Share add-on, available by itself or in conjunction with a Harvest Basket. The salad mix is seasonal blend of baby lettuces and asian greens available for 18 weeks, June to October. You can choose between the Full Pound Share for $210 (1 pound of Abby's Greens per week for 18 weeks) or the Half Pound Share for $110 (1/2 pound of Abby's Greens per week for 18 weeks). You can buy a salad share using SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks will cover half the cost.

How Do I Sign Up?

We have an online signup process via our website. We offer returning members a priority sign-up period in January/February to guarantee them a spot for the upcoming season. For folks on our waiting list, sign-ups begin after the priority period, usually by early Mach.

How Do I Get My Share Each Week?
When you sign up with us online, you choose a pick-up site with designated pick-up hours. We have pickup locations in Coos Bay, Bandon, Port Orford, and at the farm in Langlois. We also have a group of CSA members in Gold Beach who self-organize a weekly veggie carpool from the Port Orford pickup site (email us for details if you live in Gold Beach :)....). Each week we’ll harvest and pack your produce into re-usable totes on the farm and then deliver to your pick-up location. You come to the pickup site with your own bag, unpack the tote's contents, and leave the emptied tote at the site. If you are sharing a basket with someone, it’s your responsibility to divvy up the basket with your share partner each week (we do not offer half shares).

What If I Can’t Pick Up My Share?
If you know that you’ll be out of town, we suggest that you arrange for a friend to pick up your basket, or notify us so we can either hold your share in our cooler at the farm or arrange to donate it to a local foodbank. Any unclaimed shares at a pick-up site will be donated after 24 hours.

Why Would I Want to Sign-Up for a Harvest Basket?

The Harvest Basket is the most affordable, convenient and guaranteed way to get fresh, farm-direct, local produce from Valley Flora. We honor the seasons and harvest everything at its peak of ripeness and flavor. We help you enjoy the diversity of farm produce with a weekly newsletter and recipes that turn unusual or new foods into a culinary adventure. Harvest Basket members are also always the first to know when certain crops like strawberries, tomatoes, basil, plums and other produce are available for u-pick or bulk purchase on the farm. Filling the Harvest Basket amply is our number one priority every week.

For the farm, the CSA is our economic backbone. Your financial commitment in the spring - when money is always the tightest - helps us afford seeds, soil amendments, and labor to get the season going - and provides financial stability throughout the year. Our Harvest Basket members become friends, create new community, and act as vital partners in realizing a vision where local food, family farms, and sustainable agriculture are the thriving norm in our community.

Feedback from Harvest Basket Members:

Everything we eat from you is so delicious. You must be doing something magical. The food is full of it!

THANK YOU to everyone at Valley Flora for the most wonderful harvest baskets all summer long -- every Wednesday pickup is full of delight and amazement!

This past week's delivery was to die for!!! And now that tomatoes (real, tasty, delicious tomatoes) are starting to come in, my husband and I are in heaven!! He made an awesome potato, leek, carrot and bacon (carnivore that he is!) soup this past week that was wonderful. And the tomatoes --- yum!! And with basil coming again, life is so good! Thanks to you all for your hard work and for bringing us these wonderful (and healthy) treats!

I just have to thank you right now this minute for the best carrot I've ever had, ever. It's the one that's orange on the inside and beet colored on the outside. It was SO sweet and SO pretty and just so much fun to eat. Thank you!

I think need a bumper sticker that says - "I 'heart' my CSA!" You guys are awesome and I thank you every time I open my fridge.

You are changing my eating habits & I feel so much healthier! I've even lowered my prednisone dose, in part due to healthy food. Thank you Valley Flora!

Just have to say -- we totally love Saturdays when we get your awesome delivery!!! It's like a Christmas present every week!! When we decided to commit to doing this, we had to say -- okay, now what menus do we work around this wonderful produce/veggie delivery. And it's working!!! Thank you, thank you!! It's great and so much fun!
