Do you want to enjoy the bounty of healthy, fresh vegetables straight from the farm? Or would you like to garden but just don’t have the time? Then consider becoming a shareholder in the Luscher Farm CSA. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between a farmer and local consumers who invest in each other. It is an innovative and resourceful strategy to connect local farmers with local consumers, develop a sense of community and connect urban citizens to our rural roots. Members pay a fee at the beginning of the growing season to meet the farm’s operating expenses for the upcoming season. In return, they receive a portion of the farm’s produce throughout the growing season.
Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation Department has teamed up with Laura Masterson, owner of 47th Avenue Farms, to provide our citizens with an opportunity to reconnect with the land and receive healthy, sustainably grown vegetables. The summer CSA harvest starts in May and continues through the end of October. Members come to Luscher Farm once a week on Thursday evenings to pick up their shares of produce. The winter CSA starts in November and continues through the middle of April. Members come to Luscher Farm twice a month on Thursday evenings to pick up their shares of produce. At each pick up you receive at least 8-10 different vegetables and herbs.
