River City Youth Ops’ urban farm is offering our 20-week veggie subscription (also known as Community Supported Agriculture or CSA) full of healthy, fresh, and super locally grown produce. All produce is grown in the West Central Neighborhood by neighborhood kids that we hire and engage in personal and professional development through community engagement, job training, and education.
Not only do you get to enjoy the fresh taste of Spokane at every meal, but you’re also helping employ youth, create beautiful farms in vacant lots, and help the farm stay healthy year-round!
