Programs

Weekly produce boxes for June through October. First pick-up Tuesday, June 3, 2025; last pick-up October 28, 2025. (22 weeks of fresh produce; depending on weather conditions, pick-ups may end a few weeks earlier.)
$25/box = approximately a half-share quantity relative to other local CSA products.

A paper grocery bag full of 8-12 different fruits, veggies, and herbs
Most seasonal CSA’s operate on a bell curve in terms of quantity, so you can expect the quantity of produce to ramp up into the end of Summer and then taper off into Fall.

Pick-ups will be at the Veronda-Falletti Ranch front porch on Tuesdays from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. The address 175 West Sierra Ave, Cotati.
Choose one vacation week that you will intentionally miss your pick-up, to accommodate for summer travel plans.

Production Methods and Practices:
Most of the crop planets start as seeds in our greenhouse at the ranch, supplemented with nursery-bought starts.
No synthetic/artificial fertilizers.
No pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or rodenticides.
No-till soil management practices using grazers, cover crops, and occultation.
Follow all current food safety and hygiene requirements during production, harvest, post-harvest, and storage.

Risks:
First time a diverse crop model has been used in this growing space.
We have some potential pest pressure from turkeys, crows, gophers, squirrels, as well as other birds and rodents.
Working with a temporary irrigation system.
Weather - heat and cold spells can slow down production.

Rewards:
As local as you can get! Supporting local labor, improving local soil, and eating local food.
As fresh as you can get! The only thing more fresh than produce grown in your hometown, is produce grown in your own backyard.
Opportunities to volunteer! Special experiences for farm share members.
