Farmer’s Market & CSA
You can enjoy all that Supa Fresh Youth Farm has to offer by finding us at a local Farmer’s Market or becoming a member of our seasonal CSA.
By becoming a member of our CSA, you gain direct access to fresh, high-quality, produce grown by local farmers by purchasing a share of the harvest in advance. At Supa Fresh Youth Farm, 100% of the produce is grown on site by our youth.
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. By becoming a member of a CSA, you gain direct access to fresh, high-quality, produce grown by local farmers by purchasing a share of the harvest in advance. Think of it like signing up for a subscription to your local farm, or Netflix for vegetables.
When you become a CSA member you make a commitment to support your local farmer and to yourself and your family to embrace healthy, home-cooked, seasonal foods; in turn, your farmer makes a commitment to provide you with a share of the harvest that includes a wide variety of their freshest, best quality produce. At Supa Fresh Youth Farm, 100% of the produce is grown on site by our youth.

All of the produce in your CSA is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or GMO seeds.
How Does it Work?
The 2024 Supa Fresh CSA season is 12 weeks, from July 11th to September 26th.
Each week our CSA members receive a seasonal mix of 6-12 types of sustainably-grown vegetables, herbs, and some fruit. If a crop does very well that season then we share the bounty with our members, and if a crop is not as abundant that season members get other produce items instead.
In addition to a variety of fresh produce, members will receive a weekly newsletter created by our youth, that provides news and educational information from the farm, as well as recipes and suggestions for each week’s harvest. Members will also receive some of our handmade soap, and have the opportunity to visit our mini-markets at pick up.
All of the produce in your CSA is grown at the Supa Fresh Youth Farm without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or GMO seeds. While we are not certified organic we use organic techniques, as well as some permaculture design principles. All of the youth farmers are trained in sanitary harvesting and processing techniques by experienced commercial farmers, and complete the Washington County Department of Public Health Food Handler’s Training.
Summer 2024 CSA Registration Open!
Thank you for your interest in Supa Fresh Youth Farm’s CSA program! Your support provides unique learning opportunities for our youth, who train in work-readiness, leadership, entrepreneurial and small-business skills through our summer program. In an effort to make their experience as enriching as possible, we decided to streamline our CSA program last summer to one share size with two pick-up options. This year, due to staffing considerations and schedule changes, we will be shortening our season to 12 weeks (instead of 14). Please read the following options carefully to see if our CSA program still fits your needs.
Share Options
This year, we will be offering one share size, with two different pick-up options. We realize this may be a change for some of our long-time customers, and we are happy to speak with you about which option might be best for you.
- Full Share w/Weekly Pick Up (2-4 people)—similar to our large size, this option is great for a family or for splitting between two smaller households. Weekly pick-up, for 12 weeks. $450, with each share valued at $37.50
- Full Share w/Biweekly Pick Up (1-2 people)—this option is great for a smaller household, who may not go through an entire share each week, or for those who want to try out a CSA for the first time. Biweekly pick up, for a total of 6 shares. $225, with each share valued at $37.50
Season Dates
Our first pick up of the season will be July 11th, and continue every Thursday until September 26th. Biweekly members will receive a list of specific pick up dates for their group upon application.
If you are interested in applying, click here! Spots are secured on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a limited number of each share size and we will do our best to update this page as shares sell out. After submitting your application, it will be reviewed by staff and if accepted, you will receive a confirmation email and instructions for your selected payment method. Please allow 2-3 business days for this process. Thank you!
Pickup Day & Location
As a small farm and non-profit organization, we are only able to offer on-site pick up at Creekside Community High School in Tigard. Pick up is from 4-6:30 pm every Thursday for the duration of the CSA season.
You must bring your own bag or box to each pick up, as we resume the containers every week. Please notify us as soon as possible if you are unable to pick up or are running late. Shares cannot be stored for you overnight, and unclaimed shares will not be refunded–any unclaimed produce will be donated to youth farmers or the community after 6:30pm, if no notice is given.
Pickup Location: Creekside Community High School, 8040 SW Durham Road, Tigard OR 97224

Benefits of a CSA
- They provide members with the freshest possible produce–Supa Fresh CSAs goes from harvest to your hands in less than 48 hours.
- They are affordable, at $37.50 per week (Full Share) and enough veggies and herbs for 2-4 people, and we offer payment options to make them even more accessible!
- They are good for the local economy and support local farmers as well as members. CSA Members, by paying in advance, support farmers early in the season. Members reserve a share of fresh produce, while also sharing in the risks and rewards with the farmer.
- By purchasing a Supa Fresh CSA share you get the satisfaction of knowing that you helped empower local youth.
What’s the Best Way to Enjoy a CSA?
CSAs work best when members embrace seasonal eating. Eating seasonal foods not only ensures that you will get the freshest and most affordable food, but food also tastes better when it’s in season. The best way to use your CSA is to plan your menu sort of–backward–plan your meals around your weekly share, rather than first planning your menu and then picking out ingredients.
