Buy Your Food Where It’s Grown!       

CSAFreshProduceBinsThe Root Connection is Washington State’s first CSA farm. Since 1987, we have been growing local, chemical-free food for the community at our 20-acre site in the Sammamish Valley between Woodinville and Redmond. For those 25 years, we have offered our members the best of seasonal vegetables, herbs, and flowers grown right here, for pick-up right here, on the same day they are harvested.

Our harvest season is 21 weeks from June through October. Members can pick up their vegetables within four hours of when they are picked from the ground! This means that you are getting the highest quality produce possible, with superior flavor, texture, and nutrition. Produce is not stored and transported for days before it reaches your mouth. In addition to farm pick-up in Redmond, we have drop sites in Seattle and Lynnwood.

One of the biggest benefits of joining the Root Connection is that in addition to your weekly share, members can “U-pick” dozens of types of greens, herbs, and flowers for free! This adds even more value to your share. Share cost is only $32.95 per week! For info on what’s in a share, how to sign up, drop-site locations, and U-Pick, go to the CSA Information page.

KidsGardenWhat Makes the Root Connection So Special?

The Root Connection isn’t just a place to pick up your weekly vegetables. Members can fully experience the farm and see how we all are connected to the soil and the gifts it gives. It is also a place for people to come together and feel like they’re part of a community. Members exchange recipes, ideas about health, nutrition, organic farming. Other member benefits include a children’s garden and free cooking classes

"A walk through the farm makes your day end in a smile."
 

"We all feel more connected with the earth and with the life that springs forth from it to nourish our beings. I felt like the veggies came from a friend's garden."

"Thanks for giving me an invaluable gift for 13 years!"

"We love the farm! It's a very important part of our week and helps instill the right values in our children."

“I just finished cleaning the 12 gallon bag of organic produce we get each week during the summer from the Root Connection…If you’ve never tasted really fresh produce, you’re missing out on one of life’s great treats. Furthermore, the varieties of produce are optimized for flavor, not shelf-life like virtually everything you get in the grocery store. The carrots are amazingly sweet and crisp (the kids won’t eat store-bought carrots anymore), the lettuce tastes like something more than crunchy water, and the corn (later in the season) is like nothing you’ve ever had. Plus, everything is organic, so no scary poisons for the family, the environment, or the farm workers.

I’m also happy that the boys can see where food comes from. There are u-pick fields and kids gardens plus flowers and herbs for members. I don’t want the kids to be so ignorant of where food comes from…If it were just great produce, our farm share would still be a good value. It’s good for the kids, good for the land, and just makes me happy…”
