Harvest Box is Launching a Home Delivery Option in Northern Humboldt

This is a press release from the North Coast Growers Association:

Eat more local produce with Harvest Box from NCGA. Starting in July, residents of Valley West, Blue Lake, McKinleyville, Trinidad and everywhere in between will have a new way to access local food in their communities, through a home delivery service that will bring these fresh produce boxes to customers’ door steps.

The North Coast Growers’ Association (NCGA) is excited to announce the expansion of the Harvest Box program, a multi farm CSA style box program that provides Humboldt with fresh, local produce, all 100% non-GMO and local.  Starting on July 6, Harvest Boxes will be available by delivery on Wednesday afternoons through the end of October.

The Harvest Box program was created in 2020 as a safe, contactless way for customers to access NCGA members’ produce without needing to attend farmers’ markets.  Boxes are $20 each, filled with around 6 items (a leafy green, some staples like carrots and onions, and some fun seasonal items like artichokes, snap peas, or fruit).  There will be a $5 delivery fee added to cover the cost of fuel, and add-ons like chicken eggs and hot sauce are available for an additional charge.

CalFresh EBT customers are offered a $10 Market Match incentive for Harvest Box purchases. This means each weekly box only costs $10 when CalFresh EBT is used!
