ABOUT THE FULL FARM CSA
What is the Full Farm CSA?
The Full Farm CSA (FFCSA) is a personally crafted, full diet CSA program serving Portland,
Eugene, and Corvallis. Members choose how much to contribute as well as which products they
get each week to create a well-rounded, seasonal diet all year-round!
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a food system model that builds connections between
community members and their farmers, making food production a community event where the
benefits and risks are shared. We use the term “Member” in place of “Consumer” as each
member is fully invested and an integral part of making the CSA happen. Community members
benefit from transparency and the convenience of having all their week’s groceries delivered
while Member farms benefit from educated and invested community members!
What are My Food Options?
The FFCSA includes staples such as seasonal, organic vegetables and fruit, grass fed and
pasture raised meat, heirloom grains, animal fats (such as lard) honey, nuts, coffee, and a
variety of pantry items (fruit spread, salsa, pickles, tuna, popcorn, tomato sauces etc.).
You choose what you get-the flexible ordering system works for all types of eaters whether
they be omnivorous, vegetarian, keto or purely carnivorous!
We aim to provide a full diet offering a variety of products year-round so that members can
eat locally and seasonally all the time.
You can also check out our online
member store to get a feel for the different product options available.
Where Does the Food Come From?
The Full Farm CSA’s priority is to provide products grown on farms in the Willamette Valley-
as close to home as possible. In the case that it’s not possible to grow an ingredient
hyper-locally, we will also support local business which use as local products as possible
(i.e., it is virtually impossible to grow coffee in Oregon, so our Organic Coffee is grown
in South America, but sourced from a local Eugene Roaster). We always put the name of the
farmer on the listed product so that members can stay connected to the source of their food.
All our community farms are committed to producing local and nutrient dense foods. By
working together, we can bring you a truly full diet CSA.
How Do I Sign Up?
Sign up online here,
all year round! If you have any questions, give us a call at (541)
321-0925 or send us an email at fullfarmcsa@deckfamilyfarm.com
and we would be happy to walk you through the process.
How Do I Pay?
During the sign-up process, automatically recurring monthly payments will be set up and you
will agree to participate for 6 months to help provide stability to our member farms.
Subscription amounts are sliding scale, based on what the family or individual wants to
contribute, with a $200/month minimum contribution for each household ($47/week). The
maximum contribution is endless! For the “full diet challenge” (committing to eating only a
seasonal and local diet for a year!) our suggestion is $80/week per adult and $40/week for
children 6-10yrs.
Any amount left over in an account at the end of the month will be “rolled over” into a
credit for next month’s ordering.
Members can easily view, change or do a one time “top up” of their monthly budgets at any
time via their account. A breakdown of amounts contributed, and amounts ordered is available
on the “Payment" and "Order history" tabs.
How Do I Make an Order?
Orders are placed through the online
member store and by creating a member account. There
are two ordering periods in the week, depending on which drop site you choose. For
deliveries in Eugene, Springfield, and Junction City the order period is Saturday
10am-Sunday midnight. For deliveries in Portland and Corvallis the ordering period is
Tuesday 10 am-Wednesday midnight.
The member store is updated at the start of each ordering period with the latest inventory,
which changes to reflect all the goodies that are at the peak of ripeness. Members must make
their order during the ordering periods, so please make sure all desired items are in your
cart before the deadline, or you will not get an order for that week. Carts will be
automatically submitted at midnight, there is no need to hit a “submit button”.
We will do our best to fill your order completely, but sometimes due to unpredictable
weather and seasonal variations, we cannot guarantee that we will have everything in your
order. Members can choose whether they would like substitutions made via their account
settings. In the peak of the growing season, we encourage members to order extra for
freezing and canning to supplement the winter months.
How Do I Pick Up My Weekly Order?
Members bring their own totes, coolers, and bags to pick up their product as the coolers and
vegetable totes that the product arrives in must stay at the drop site. Upon signing up,
members select a drop site and an initial email with more details, addresses and
instructions will be sent directly to you. Our current drop sites and pick up times are:

Do you Offer Home Delivery?
Yes! We currently offer home delivery in Eugene/Springfield, Junction City, and Corvallis.
We are looking at expanding to other cities, so let us know if you would like to be notified
when we are in your area! We charge a $5 fee for home delivery. If you order more than $125,
we will deliver for free! Home deliveries are Wednesday, Thursday (Eugene/Springfield
locations) and Saturday (Corvallis locations). Your produce and dry goods will be delivered
in a cardboard box. The morning of your delivery, you will need to place a cooler on your
porch to receive any meat, dairy, or other frozen products you may have ordered, as well as
your empty box and any glass jars from the week before. We will pick up these items and
re-use them. Please make sure any jars are labeled with your name so we can refund your
bottle deposit.
What about Jar Refunds?
We offer a $4 credit for returning clean, dry, 1/2 gallon glass jars with PLASTIC lids
attached (we will not give credit for jars returned missing lids, lids other than the
provided plastic lids or dirty jars). Please keep returns to a limit of 10 jars at a time-
we don’t always have the time and space to accept more than this. All of our locations
accept jar returns. If you are returning jars to one of our farmers market locations, please
give them to one of our friendly representatives. We love it if you can return the quarts
and pints as well but don’t offer deposits for them at this time.
Can I Skip A Few Weeks to Go on Vacation?
Yes! If you would like to skip a week or two, no problem. We only deliver when you make an
order. We do require that families remain active and maintain a weekly average order of $40
throughout the year, so sporadic orders can work within our program, so long as the minimum
budget is met!
