 OUTER AISLE SETS A 300TH MONKEY GOAL!
  TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 15% off 6 deliveries when you open or reactivate your account!
 (Valid till January 31st)

Help us achieve our goal of a 300 member CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).  
We were close last year and hope to meet or exceed our goal for a number of great reasons that are above and beyond simply eating the best produce around. Like: supporting local farmers and creating a demand for more of them, being connected to the land and the people that grow your food, creating health and well being for all, coming up with real solutions to avert distribution crisis, and keeping hard earned money in our communities and employing people in real work that makes a difference.
 
 
Not only is eating seasonally and within a foodshed good for you it's just as good for the local economy and our ability to be more resilient in times of uncertainty. The "hundredth monkey effect" is what we are looking for - literally a blossoming in our awareness that allows much more possibilities to shine through. We have an awesome team that are working hard to harvest and individually put together bags every week from produce we grow ourselves and from farms within a 150 mile radius.

Want to be part of it? Or know someone that would?

For as little as $18 per week you can enjoy our produce and that of other family farmers year round. No obligation, no fees.

Sign up new members or click to view the different options:  http://www.farmigo.com/join/outeraislefoods/csa

For returning customers - simply email us and we will reactivate your account no need to sign up again.
     
You'll be excited to know that we are now offering unique options that make for a greater flexibility: We get it that there are items that not everyone likes - so we encourage substitutions to weekly menu items and also keep a listing of your permanent dislikes so you don't have to keep telling us. We also offer extra personalized options to better tailor to individual preferences.

Our webstore is ever expanding and items can be added to your regular order.
New: Now allowing for individual ordering.

Bi-weekly option allows you to skip a week and receive deliveries every other week.

Changes can be made to your regular subscription with ease.

Vacation settings allow you to be away and no there's not a box waiting for you.  
We hope you'll consider starting up again (and taking advantage of our 6 deliveries with a 15% off discount) or signing up a friend, family member or share information with a work colleague or at church or another mom.

Outer Aisle FARMERS KITCHEN, MARKET & PUB. "growing food, feeding community". 

Behind the scenes of Outer Aisle is Taylor Farms. Located on Main Street, Douglas Flat, our nearly two acre "beyond organic" farm produces a large variety of seasonal vegetables including these seasonal highlights: summer heirloom tomatoes, fall cauliflower, winter carrots and spring potatoes to name just a few! 

Outer Aisle also operates a year round CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. We distribute the highest quality, local, seasonal and regional produce and products to members all over Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. We only purchase product from farms and producers who are committed to ecologically sustainable practices and go beyond the National "Organic" standards.
