How does it work?
Red Dog Ranch™ is offering weekly fresh produce boxes during our growing season. (or, what some people refer to as "CSA")
For a small family; a fixed weekly cost of around $30 gets you a box of freshly picked, local produce from our farm.
An example of a weekly produce box:
1 hd. Lettuce
2 lb. Heirloom Tomatoes
½ lb. Sugar Peas
1 lb. Fava Beans
1 bunch Beets
1 bunch Carrots
1 bulb Garlic
1 Fennel Root
2 Lemon Cucumber
We currently have over 75 varieties of Heirloom Fruits, Vegetables, and Flowers growing in our fields. Please see our '2011 Crop List' for a complete list. [click here]
When does it start?
Our growing season is approximately 14 weeks long: mid-July through late October; hence, we estimate deliveries to start around July 15. (give or take a week.)
Throughout the season, as our crops rippen, weekly deliveries will vary by size and types of produce, reflecting local growing seasons and conditions.
How much does it Cost?
- Basic Box Plan (2-3 persons)
$30/wk
- Business Plan (+3 boxes to one business)
$25/wk/box
Payment terms are flexible: pay per delivery (COD), or per the month.
Deliveries will be done Wednesday mornings to your doorstep. (Again, only in the Sea Ranch/Gualala area)
Why Red Dog Ranch™?
Red Dog Ranch™ is committed to pure, chemical-free farming. Did you know "Certified Organic" farms can still use chemicals like Round-Up or Pyrethrins, which are toxic to humans!
We use only natural pesticides like fresh garlic, chili powder, vegetable & citrus oils, diatomaceous earth, and soapy water.
All our produce starts with seeds that are 'old-world', called "Heirloom." These varieties, in our opinion, have the best flavor as compared to the super market vegetables which are grown for harvestability and a long shelf-life.
Irrigation for our fields come from natural springs and tributaries that flow through the Ranch.
Plus, these vegetables are local! Not trucked hundreds or thousands of miles.
