About Our CSA

The UW Farm is a 1.2 acre, student-powered, urban vegetable farm located on 2 sites at UW’s Seattle Campus. This will be the third season of our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. As a member in the CSA, you will receive a share of seasonal veggies each week on Wednesday.

We kicked off our CSA program in the summer of 2014, serving 15 members of the campus community. In 2015, we more than doubled the number of CSA shares we offered, delivering to 37 members each week.

By having a share of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) you support the farm with an initial investment that has a return of a weekly box of fresh produce throughout the growing season. We are excited about being able to offer our produce to the community in this capacity.
