What’s Really Inside a CSA Box?

One of the most common questions we get is:

“What exactly comes in a CSA box?”

The honest answer?

It depends on the week.

And that’s the beauty of it.

Our CSA boxes reflect what’s at peak harvest in Vista right now. That means:

In Winter You Might Find:

  • Kale or spinach

  • Carrots or beets

  • Broccoli or cauliflower

  • Citrus like oranges, lemons, or grapefruit

In Spring:

  • Blueberries

  • Peas

  • Fresh herbs

  • Tender greens

  • Early apricots

In Summer:

  • Heirloom tomatoes

  • Cherry tomatoes

  • Peppers

  • Cucumbers

  • Zucchini

  • Peaches or plums

  • Melons

In Fall:

  • Avocados

  • Winter squash

  • Pomegranates

  • Pumpkins

  • Persimmons

Every week is slightly different because farming isn’t static. Weather shifts. Crops rotate. Some weeks feel abundant and overflowing. Others are simpler and focused.

But every box is harvested with intention and packed with care.

If you like cooking with what’s fresh instead of following a rigid grocery list, a CSA might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
