My name is Lillie Dignan. I'm a designer and maker, living and working in the Bay Area.
Our second weekly produce box arrived at our doorstep today. Back in LA, I had joined a CSA earlier this year and was loving the variety (and surprise!) of each week’s box. So finding a CSA in San Francisco was at the top of the moving “To Do” list. Plus we really like veggies.
We decided to try out Farm Fresh To You, a local CSA based at Capay Organic Farm. They offer a range of box sizes and produce varieties (including a fruit-only and veggie-only option). Plus, to save on overall energy use, they deliver your produce to your front door–love that sustainable convenience!
Just today, we realized that some of their winter produce is sourced from out-of-state farms (Washington and Colorado?!). So we’re making a small switch to their “Valley Box,” which carries only local produce–and which means more greens this winter!

listening to: Cold Hungry Blues by Po’ Girl (listen)
Love these vocals–this is my favorite song of the season.
I’d love to join one, but around here there aren’t varieties of CSA types. It’s sort of a “one size fits all” except the “all” is a family of four who cooks every meal. The two of us would never be able to use it all! We do have a farmer’s market on Sundays that I go to instead. It’s got great variety for one in the suburbs!
Really enjoyed the music you’re listening to!!! Thanks for the introduction!!!
hooray for your new CSA! sounds like you’re settling in nicely.
i am totally doing this when i move back to the states. thanks for the local harvest link!
