A FAMILY FARM GROWING FOR YOU
FAQ's
WHAT'S CSA?
CSA stands for 'Community Supported Agriculture' (click here for CSA background info) and is a way for people to directly support local farms.
DO I HAVE TO BUY A BOX EVERY WEEK?
No. To place your account on either a temporary or permanent hold please email us at least 5 days in advance of the box you wish to suspend at info@tinysorganic.com and your account will be adjusted accordingly.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
Each box contains between 6 and 8 varieties of freshly picked organic fruit and vegetables and amounts of each may vary according to what is being harvested on the farm that week.
WHAT ABOUT QUALITY?
We believe the quality of fruit and veggies in Tiny's CSA boxes is excellent and we are very careful about how the boxes are packed to ensure you'll be getting the best possible organic experience available. We do, however, allow small blemishes to be included in the box on all varieties because not all fruit and veggies are created perfectly (or equal) and we believe it is wasteful to throw out anything that is still in excellent physical condition.
WHERE DO I PICK UP MY BOX?
We have made arrangements for boxes to be dropped at various locations in the Greater Puget Sound area and we post new pickup locations as they become available. Note: some pickup locations are restricted to employees who work in a particular building. You may choose to have your bag dropped at any of the unrestricted locations for pick up. With a small delivery fee you can also opt to have your box delivered directly to your home as long as your residence in within our delivery area.
WHAT IF I CAN'T PICK UP MY BOX?
If you are unable to pick up your box at the designated time for your drop site, please try to have someone pick it up for you. Boxes that are not picked up cannot be left overnight because of the perishable nature of the contents and the box will be donated to a local food bank. If you plan to be away for a couple of weeks, a good idea is to have a friend or relative take over your box pickup for the time you are away, or email us to have your box suspended.
DO I NEED TO BRING MY BOX BACK?
Make sure to bring back your previous week's box when you make a pickup at your drop area.
HOW MANY BOX SIZES ARE AVAILABLE? Members can choose from the Jumbo Box (4 people), Large Box (2-3 people), Regular Box (2 people), Tiny Box (1 person), All Fruit Box (2-3 people) or the All Vegetable Box (2-3 people).
