About Community Supported Agriculture
Full Belly operates a Community Supported Agriculture project or CSA. The CSA forges a direct connection between the farm and the people who buy and eat its produce.

By belonging to the CSA, members support organic farming practices that are healthful for people and the environment. They also have the opportunity to eat the freshest, most nutritional produce available.

Members receive boxes of fresh produce delivered to convenient neighborhood locations in the East Bay, San Rafael, and the South Bay, as well as in Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, and Esparto. (See Neighborhood Delivery Sites.)

A weekly order of vegetables feeds an average family of 2 to 4 people. The kinds of vegetables you receive depend on the season. For example, a Spring box might contain: 1 bunch carrots, 1 bunch broccoli, 1 bunch red kale, 1/2 lb salad mix, 1 green cabbage, 1 lb potatoes, 1 bunch beets, 1 bunch green garlic. For the produce in this week's CSA boxes, go to CSA Box list.

Full Belly chooses what vegetables and fruits go into the boxes. However, Full Belly grows many crops to offer a wide variety of produce to its members. CSA members find their favorite fruits and vegetables in their boxes, as well as new ones to try out.

For a chart of our seasonal produce, go to our Crops Timeline.

When you join our CSA, you choose a delivery day and a neighborhood pickup place. When you place your orders, you specify the schedule that works for you. You can skip a week or cancel if you let us know five days in advance. (For example, notify us on Monday if you want to cancel a Friday box.) You can order for every other week, for example, or omit weeks when you will be away. For additional details about orders and pickup, go to Members' Info.

The weekly box costs $18; or $16.50 per week if you pay for three months in advance ($214.50 for 13 weeks); or $16 per week if you pay for one year in advance ($768 for 48 consecutive weeks, but no skipping boxes for annual payers). Home or office delivery is available in selected East Bay and Sacramento locations for an extra charge of $7 per week (details below).
