Welcome to 2026!

January 6, 2026

We’ve made it to the new year! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and started your 2026 off right. We are so excited to continue with you on your food journey this year, and we’re hoping our veggies are even better this year than they were last year (and last year, they were delicious)!

We’ve opened signups for the 2026 CSA Season!

Are you ready for yet another season of delicious vegetables from the farm? We are! And signups for this summer’s CSA season are now open! We will still have full shares and half shares on the same schedule format as last year, so half shares will have a Group A and a Group B schedule on alternating weeks. Our 20-week season will again go from June to October, and prices for all our delivery options remain the same as the 2025 season.

We will have deliveries to Eugene, Springfield, Portland, Florence, Mapleton, Veneta, and Noti. As of now, all the delivery sites remain the same except the High Street location in Eugene. Our wonderful site hosts, the Kennedy family, have decided it’s finally time to move on, and we wish them wonderful summers full of calm days to do whatever they please. They will be missed! Our new site for that area will be on E 36th, at the home of one of our members, Karena Norton. The address is listed on the website, with more information about the site itself to be updated shortly.

You can place your order for the 2026 CSA Season here.

Here are your payment options for the 2026 CSA Season!

We offer the following payment options for your convenience: 

Check: We’re happy to accept checks for payment to avoid the credit card transaction fee. (We actually prefer it, as it saves us the fee too!) But make sure you deduct the fee from your total if there is a credit card transaction fee on your invoice! If you’d like to send post-dated checks so you don’t have to remember to make additional payments, you’re more than welcome to! We’ll lock them away in our safe, so they’ll always be secure.  

While mailing a check is the most secure way to make sure we receive your payment, if you choose to pay at one of our markets, please make sure your payment is contained in a sealed envelope with your name and “CSA” clearly written on the front. Please do not leave a check at your pickup site.  

Credit Card: We’re happy to offer online payment options through our website, wintergreenfarm.com. After logging into your account, you can find your invoice in the “Orders” tab. When you check out, you can choose any of the payment plan options mentioned above. There is a credit card transaction fee of a little over 3%, as that’s what we get charged to process online payments. (This fee is added to all online payments, so if you’re paying by check, please feel free to subtract the fee from the total.) 

Please note that we are unable to take any credit card payments over the phone, as we’re no longer set up to do so. Thank you for understanding! 

Cash: While cash is definitely the least secure way to pay, we are happy to accept cash as payment for your share. If you choose to pay cash, please make sure to contain it in a sealed envelope with your name and “CSA” clearly written on the front if you pay at a market, or included in a note or letter if you send it by mail. Please do not leave cash or payment of any kind at your pickup site. 

If you pay in full by April 1, 2026, we will send you a coupon for $10.00 to be used at any of our markets or towards flats of vegetables later in the season.

You can mail checks to:          

 Winter Green Farm 

89762 Poodle Creek Road 

Noti, OR 97461 

If you are in need of financial assistance to help with your share, please contact the farm at folks@wintergreenfarm.com.  

Coupons to use during signups this year:

  • If you’re a returning member from previous seasons, you can use the coupon code: LOYALTY26 at checkout.
  • If you’re a site host this year and would like to use your site host coupon, you can use the coupon code: SITEHOST26
  • If you still have any of the following coupons from the 2025 season, you’re welcome to use them toward this season’s order:
    • LOYALTY25
    • PAIDINFULL25
    • SITEHOST 25 – if you are a site host and did not receive a coupon for this last year, please feel free to use this code or let me know through email and I will send you a coupon. Those were late going out last year, so I want to make sure you got them and can use them toward a CSA order or our markets.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me via email at folks@wintergreenfarm.com. You can place your order for the 2026 CSA Season here.

We work with the SNAP program for those who might need it!

Unless something changes on a national scale, we happily work with the SNAP/DUFB program to help with your CSA purchase. If you use SNAP to pay for your share, the Double-Up Food Bucks program (run through the state) will match your payments for up to half your share. You can choose SNAP at checkout and then email me to let me know the card # and benefit loading day you would like to use for the season.

PLEASE NOTE: If we are unable to enroll you in the program before the season begins or you do not have the benefits on your card to cover your half, you will be charged full price for your share. It is really important that if you are using SNAP, you let me know the correct information so I can get you enrolled in the program before the season begins. This helps us, you, and the SNAP program plan for the season.

We also have financial assistance available on a first-come, first serve basis. While we do have a small amount available for the 2026 season, we still invite any of our members who would like to contribute to donate to the financial assistance fund to help those families who might need a little help this season.

I will be working from home for the majority of January!

On Christmas Eve, I took a fall in my driveway and broke my left humerus in three pieces. (I’m okay!) I had surgery to fix it on New Years Eve (fun holiday season for me, right?). Because of that, I will be working from home until I’m cleared to drive to work again, and you’ll be able to reach us through email at folks@wintergreenfarm.com.

I will be working every weekday and keeping up on emails. However, as I’m healing, my sleep schedule is more aligned with my medication than the workday, so please allow me a day or two to get back to you, and ignore the odd hours I may be keeping for the next few weeks.

Please do not call the office if you need an immediate response. While we will be checking voicemails, there will not be anybody in the office to take your calls for the month of January, and you will get a better (and quicker) response if you contact me via email. Thank you so much for your understanding!

We are hiring for the following positions:

  • Harvest crew
  • Harvest Co-Manager
  • Farm Irrigation
  • Delivery Driver
  • Farmers’ Market Vendor/Delivery Driver
  • Farmers’ Market Vendor

If you or someone you know (18 and older) are looking for a job at the farm this season, please fill out an application on our website. We would love to work with you this year!

It has been so wonderful working with all of you through the CSA all these years, and our farm would not be able to thrive without your kindness and support. We appreciate each and every one of you, and we look forward to joining you on your food journey this year!

Many blessings,

Chelsea and your Winter Green farmers
