Farm Share Enrollment Open For Bayside Park Farm’s Summer 2019 Season

This is a press release from the City of Arcata:

Arcata, CA – The City of Arcata Parks and Recreation Division is now accepting enrollment for Summer 2019 farm shares from Bayside Park Farm.

Bayside Park Farm is a 3-acre vegetable farm located in the City of Arcata’s Bayside Park that is dedicated to cultivating connections between the community and sustainable agriculture. The Bayside Park Farm share program was the first Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in Arcata, and it has provided the community with local, organic produce for over 20 years.

Since 1993, the farm has acted as an incubator to fledgling farmers by providing a space to develop practical skills in organic and sustainable agriculture. Purchasing a Bayside Park Farm share helps carry on this tradition by giving the next generation of local farmers their beginning.

Farm share enrollment is currently available for weekly pick-up beginning in June 2019. Bayside Park Farm is located at 930 Old Arcata Road, and full shares cost $450 for the growing season which lasts 21 weeks from June to November 2019.

Early enrollment is encouraged as shares are limited. Farm share payment plan options are available, and community members interested in utilizing that option are encouraged to call 707-822-7091.
