TRF's Organic Produce Co-op
How it works
Co-op members have first chance to reserve their Summer Season share. Annually, the Summer Season runs May - October.
- Each week members receive a box of both vegetables and fruit
- All produce is certified organic
- Members pay wholesale prices plus a small mark up to cover labor for packing, and managing the system itself. All proceeds go right into funding the Summer Season CSA farm operation
- Members save over retail organic prices, while supporting their local organic farm
- Members pick up their boxes at the farm each week.
- Members can buy extra of certain items or exchange items they don't want in their box for something different. Details are posted at the farm.
- As available add seasonal u-pick greens and herbs for free!

Two box sizes to choose from
A regular box will feed an average family of 2 to 4 people. Many larger families will also find it to be plenty for them. A small box will feed an average family of 1 to 2 people. Each family varies in the amount of produce they consume.
What can I expect to receive in a co-op season box?
Our co-op boxes provide a wide variety of produce. Here are some of the things we had in previous years. Lettuce, celery, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, radishes, leeks, different types of potatoes, peppers, carrots, peas, beans, several types of winter squash, yams, beets, cilantro, cucumbers, spinach, gr. onions, cabbage, different kinds of tomatoes, salad mixes, Asian pears, pears, apples, bananas, oranges, kiwi, grapefruit, avocados, tangerines, lemons, satsumas, artichokes, asparagus, zucchini, sunburst squash, eggplant, persimmons, bok choy, chard, kale, mango, strawberries, melons, grapes, etc.
Each week boxes will contain between 5 and 7 varieties of vegetables and 3 to 5 varieties of fruits.
This is a great way for people to afford to eat organic. Members eat higher quality produce and pay much less than at the grocery store, all while supporting their local farm.
