PNWCSA is a 501c3 nonprofit organization serving growers and community members in Oregon and SW Washington. We are a coalition of local CSA farmers, ranchers, and fishers who are dedicated to sustainable agricultural practices, building community, and boosting the economic viability of small-scale producers. Our member farms provide over 8,000 households with vegetables, fruits, meat, dairy, grains, flowers, and other locally grown products. Our major programs include:
-
Community education and outreach about CSA, including our annual CSA Share Fair
-
Increasing access to CSA for SNAP recipients
-
Providing networking and mentoring opportunities for CSA farmers
-
Serving as Matchmakers by connecting our community with their local farmers.
All staff of PNWCSA continually examine our work through the lenses of race, class, gender-identity, and ethnicity to become more conscious of who benefits from our mission and who does not. This includes incorporating the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We strive to continually learn about and dismantle the inequities and disparities in our food and agricultural systems. It is critical that within PNWCSA we listen when others speak, we identify discrimination and bias when we see it, we celebrate each other’s lived experiences, we learn from our mistakes, and we make space for complicated conversations.
Our key mission of providing access to good food for all depends on recognizing and including those marginalized in our food system. We encourage people of color, women, LGBTQ people, religious minorities, recent immigrants, differently-abled persons and applicants from diverse generational, economic, and educational backgrounds to join our staff and our board.
