Open Enrollment for Cal Poly Organic Farm Weekly Produce Program

SAN LUIS OBISPO - The Cal Poly Organic Farm is accepting new members for the winter season of its Community Supported Agriculture Program, which provides participants with a weekly box of the farm's harvest.

The 12-week season runs from Dec. 15 through mid-March. Along with fresh produce, members will receive a weekly newsletter with recipes highlighting that week's bounty.

Members can purchase a subscription for a large box, designed for a family of three to five and available for $318, or a small box, designed for a family of one to three people for $240. Quarter-long student boxes are also available for $190.

Members can pick up their produce on either Monday or Thursday at the Cal Poly Organic Farm or have their box delivered to a countywide drop-site location for an additional fee.

Fruits and vegetables in the box vary weekly depending on seasonal availability. Winter crops include items like: lettuce, onions, arugula, leeks, carrots, beets, broccoli, chard, kiwis, kale, mandarins and more.

Most of the produce is grown on 11 certified organic acres on Cal Poly campus. Additional produce is purchased from a network of local, collaborative growers to increase product diversity and support the local agriculture economy.
