Winter CSA 39% off for SNAP users!
Purchase a Winter meat and vegetable CSA and Double Up Food Bucks will cover the full cost of your vegetables!
Our 7-month Winter CSA is a monthly CSA with pick ups on the first Thursday of the month, November-May. Shares can be picked up in Sisters, Bend, or at the Rainshadow Farm Store halfway between Terrebonne and Sisters on the corner of Holmes Rd and Lower Bridge Way. All shares are entirely Rainshadow Organics goods. Visit our Winter CSA page for additional pricing and details.
At Rainshadow Organics we believe that everyone deserves access to local, nutrient dense food. We partner with Pacific Northwest CSA Coalition to make using your SNAP Benefits as easy as possible. Pay for your CSA share monthly with your Oregon Trail Card food benefits. For shares that include vegetables or are vegetable only, Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) will cover full vegetable cost in meat & vegetable shares. That is $616 off the total price. A savings of 39%. This makes providing food for your home even more affordable and stretches your food dollar even further!*
You can use your SNAP benefits to purchase any of our CSAs, but only the shares with vegetables will qualify for the DUFB scholarship.
Please reach out if you have any questions! We are committed to making our food accessible and want to work with you to make this work. (Email: info@rainshadoworganics.com)
(*What are Double Up Food Bucks? This is a program that “matches” SNAP benefits used on vegetable CSAS for up to 50% off of the vegetable portion of the CSA. Essentially free money that can only be used on a CSA purchase.)
How Do I sign Up?
Step 1: Learn what your monthly benefits are and what your CSA budget is and decide if the CSA option will work for you.
Step 2: Purchase your Winter CSA HERE (You will need to purchase the Pay in Full option and select pay with SNAP/EBT benefits when it comes time to purchase.) No money will be exchanged, but this is how you reserve your spot.
Step 4: Wait for us and PNW CSA Coalition to reach out with additional instructions and forms. This will include waivers to sign so PNW CSA Coalition can run your Oregon Trail Card monthly on your dispersal date.
Step 5: Enjoy your CSA starting November 2!
