Introducing Port Angeles Fresh
Formerly called “Collaborative CSA,” PA Fresh is a collaborative between Wild Edge Farm, the Sawtooth Ranch, Hidden Penny Farm, Maker & Baker, and our local eating community. We are in our third season and are excited to invite you to experience community and great food with your local farms.
How a PA Fresh membership works:
You invest upfront with the amount you choose (from $200-$500).
For the remainder of the season, you will have no need for cash or credit at the Port Angeles Farmers’ Market, Hidden Penny Farm Stand, or when ordering from any of us online. Simply charge your purchases on your PA Fresh tab. Note: You must spend the money in your account by December 31, 2024. Any money left at the end of the year will be considered a donation to PA Fresh and will not carry over to next year.
With a PA Fresh membership, you can shop for any of our products at any of our locations from June 1 to December 31, 2024.
• Port Angeles Farmers’ Market
• Hidden Penny Farm Stand (43 Black Diamond Rd., open through the end of November)
• Online Wild Edge Farm pre-orders delivered in town (or optional pick up at the farm)
• Pop up street markets around town — invite us to your block to create an instant neighborhood food hub
This year we are excited to introduce some new perks of becoming a member, particularly an enhanced sense of community among our farms and the customers who choose to become members. This year, as a member of PA Fresh you’re invited to:
- OPEN HOUSE 4 – 7 PM June 15th to meet the farms and farmers of PA Fresh
- Seasonal picnics on our farms: Summer solstice POTLUCK PICNIC and sourdough proofing @ Hidden Penny Farm and a late summer visit to Wild Edge with a POTLUCK PICNIC along the Elwha River, an autumn POTLUCK PICNIC in the orchard at the Sawtooth Ranch.
- Priority ordering on poultry from Hidden Penny Farm.
- Option for pre-order items from Wild Edge, Hidden Penny and Maker and Baker before market.
- Gifted specialty items on occasion.
How this supports farmers and the agricultural community:
- Assurance during the tending of plants and animals that there are customers who want our products
- Money up front during the time when expenses are the highest
- Support and inspiration from our local colleagues in collaboration
- An opportunity to build a deeper relationship and sense of community with our customers
- And an opportunity to educate and motivate regarding farming and eating practices that have a positive ecological influence!
