A CSA drop site at Olympic Sculpture Park!

I'm so thrilled that announce that we will now host a Community Support Agriculture (CSA) drop site at the Olympic Sculpture Park! CSAs offer an amazing opportunity to support local farmers, and purchase delicious, organic produce. Local sourcing has become a big component of sustainability efforts, and my feeling is that it makes sense for cultural and economic reasons, in additional to environmental benefits. I also love that the program will offer local produce in an urban community, where opportunities for gardening are limited by condos and long waiting lists at pea patches.

Here are the details on the program:

Pick up your organic produce at the Olympic Sculpture Park!

Seattle Art Museum and TASTE are pleased to sponsor a drop site for Boistfort Valley Farm’s Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program at the Olympic Sculpture Park.
