Where do I pick up my PIKE BOX?

Pick up for the Spring PIKE BOX will be every Wednesday from 3pm – 7pm on the north end of Pike Place across the street from Starbucks. Click here to view the pick-up location on our interactive Market Map.

You will also receive an email with instructions and what to expect in your shares.

For Summer PIKE BOX, we are offering three pick-up locations: Pike Place Market, First Hill, and South Lake Union. More information on additional pick-up locations will be announced when summer registration opens.

Where is the produce coming from?

The produce comes from Pike Place Market farmers. Since we have farmers from all over the state of Washington, your basil may be from Fall City, while your tomatoes may be from Sunnyside. Pike Place Market farmers have to grow everything they bring to their tables at the Market. That means if you can’t grow it in Washington, you won’t see it in your PIKE BOX.

Is all of the produce organic?

No. However, several of our farmers are certified organic, and a majority of the others grow to organic standards but are not certified, or use “no spray” techniques to manage their crops. Each week, your box will come with a “fresh sheet” write up explaining the growing practices of all farms included in that week’s box.

What will I get each week with the 10-week season PIKE BOX?

We have a projection for what will be in each week’s share; however, there are many variables involved with growing and harvesting each crop, and sometimes we will not be able to include an item that we had planned for. Each Friday before pickup, we will email a forecast of what will be in that week’s share, but that list is subject to change.

We will always try to include the following in each box: fruit, a few staples e.g. carrots, onions, garlic, potatoes, etc.), a leafy green, and other vegetables or herbs. Our goal is to provide a mix of familiar and loved crops as well as some new and exciting varieties. You will also receive a weekly “Fresh Sheet” that showcases recipes, storage tips, and easy preparation ideas to help make the most of your fruits and vegetables.

We try to offer two different share sizes:

The Full Share contains 7-8 produce items, at least two of which are fruit. This share feeds 1-2 people who frequently eat fresh produce during the spring and summer, or a household of 3 or more that eats a moderate amount of produce.

The Half Share contains 4 produce items, with usually one of these being fruit. This share feeds 1-2 people who eat a moderate amount of produce.

Can I substitute or change any of the items in my box?

Members are not able to substitute or make changes to box contents. We try very hard to create shares that are versatile and appeal to people with different preferences. If there is a vegetable that you don’t enjoy, share it with your friend, neighbor, or fellow CSA member. We hope you’ll welcome the mix of staples and new, exciting vegetables and perhaps find a new favorite!

What will my 10-week PIKE BOX look like?

Each week’s selection of fresh produce will be packed into one or two compostable grocery bags with handles. To make traveling home with your produce more convenient, we recommend that you bring a reusable tote bag each week when you pick up your share because items can be heavy or unwieldy, and sometimes we will have extras to offer you!

I can’t pick up my box next week. What will happen to it?

If you can’t pick up your box during the designated time frame, we recommend that you ask a friend to pick it up for you or email us, and we will donate it for you to the Pike Market Food Bank.

Shares that are unaccounted for at the end of pickup will be delivered to the Pike Market Food Bank.

Can I cancel my share or get a refund?

Cancellations are not available after the enrollment deadline. Refunds are not available after payment has been submitted.
