Boldly Grown Farm specializes in growing fall and winter crops. Our CSA is a chance for you to receive a biweekly supply of high-quality, locally grown, organic veggies during the typical off-season.
What’s in a Share
We offer a traditional CSA model in which we share with you the bounty of the season. Our CSA share consists of 10 biweekly boxes, each containing approximately 8-10 different items. Boxes include a core rotating cast of stalwart winter vegetables (carrots, beets, winter squash, potatoes, onions, shallots, garlic, cabbage, etc.) plus freshly harvested items (kale, collards, Swiss Chard, broccoli, cauliflower, radicchio, purple sprouting broccoli, etc.). Value-added products like sauerkraut, pickled peppers, dried peppers and chili flakes brighten up the winter months. Our boxes are not customizable, but we work to ensure you receive a diversity of items.
Share Size
We offer one share size that’s delivered every other week that typically works well for 2-4 people. This share size works well for members ranging from individuals to families depending on how many veggies they like to eat. Visit our FAQ for more on share size.
Share Add-ons
We provide optional bread and cheese subscription options to go along with your winter vegetables. For the bread share, we partner with Water Tank Bakery to offer four rotating loaves, one with each box delivery. Our cheese share features a different cheese each week from local cheesemakers including but not limited to Samish Bay, Twin Sisters Creamery, and Ferndale Farmstead. The cost of the bread share add-on is $115, and the cheese add-on is $90. More details about these subscriptions are available during registration.

Drop Sites
We deliver pre-packed boxes to multiple drop sites in Seattle, Skagit Valley and Bellingham. Members may also pick up at our farm in Bow at a slightly lower rate. Pick-up time frames vary by drop site and can be viewed on the registration page. Please note: Drop site pick-up windows are subject to adjustment. Final details will be provided prior to the start of the program.
Cost & Payment
A winter CSA membership is $570, or $525 if picking up on the farm. Payment may be made in one, two or three installments.
If you have capacity to pay the full share cost up front, it helps us cover the start-up costs of the growing season—one of the main benefits of the CSA model for farmers.
We accept e-checks (ACH transfer), credit cards, and paper checks. Payment by e-check helps us minimize credit card fees and keep program costs down. If paying for an installment plan by credit card or e-check, your card/account information will be securely stored and charged when your next installment is due.
The share cost can be pro-rated for one absence by using the coupon code “MISSONE” during registration. If you’ll miss a delivery date after you’ve registered, you may have someone else pick up your share. See the CSA Member Agreement for more details on absences.
Financial Aid Fund
We believe that healthy, local, organic food should be available to everyone. In pursuit of this goal, we created a Financial Aid Fund to make our program accessible to those who could not otherwise participate in our CSA.
We invite our members to contribute to the Financial Aid Fund during the registration process. If you have the means to contribute, it goes directly to providing a greater number of shares at a discounted cost. Your support makes a big difference in our community and helps increase access to fresh, local food. Boldly Grown Farm will provide a 100% match to all financial aid fund contributions, doubling your impact. Any amount helps! Please note your donation is not tax-deductible.
CSA is built on trust. If you don’t have the means to pay for the standard cost, we want you to decide what to pay based on your situation. When we open registration for the next season, we will list coupon codes to use at registration for the level of discount you need. The availability of these coupon codes throughout registration will be dependent on financial aid fund availability. Please note the discount will only be applied to the vegetable share; we aren’t able to offer discounts on the bread or cheese subscriptions.
In 2021, 106 members donated $4,500 to the Financial Aid Fund. Combined with our own contribution, we offered 11 discounted CSA memberships and donated 30 Thanksgiving boxes to our local food bank!
Registration
We use an application called Farmigo to manage our CSA. You’ll need to create an account to join and pay. If you were a member a previous season, you’ll use the same account. We encourage you to sign up early to secure your space at your preferred drop site. Depending on overall program and individual drop site capacity, we’ll accept registrations after the program has begun, prorating the cost based on the remaining distribution dates. Please see our CSA Member Agreement for detailed policies on absences, missed boxes and refunds/cancellations. We encourage you to review all of the CSA information on our website before you join to make sure it’s a good fit. Your registration confirms you understand and accept the information on our website.
“This CSA was a ray of sunshine during the Seattle winter – the incredibly fresh and flavorful produce made cooking fun during this otherwise dreary time of year!
