Lilac City Harvest

Lilac City Harvest is a seven-acre hidden gem tucked behind a vibrant Spokane Valley neighborhood, providing easy access to the freeway, as well as solitude and privacy from the hustle and bustle of the main road. Husband and wife team Adam and Emily Powell have been growing organically since 2016. They enjoy focusing on salad crops including lettuces, root veggies, and herbs; seasonal favorites like sugar snap peas and green beans, and squash; pantry staples like carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic; peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers are grown in their hoop house. You can find them at their farm store, and farmer’s markets beginning in the late spring. Announcements for the Summer CSA program signups will be posted on their social media in the early Spring.

Lilac City Harvest, in its own listing

How a CSA share works.

A CSA share is paid up front for a season of regular boxes, usually weekly. You share the farm's good years and its bad ones. Before you buy, ask what a typical week holds, where and when pickup is, whether delivery is offered, and how the farm handles a lost crop. Farms that grow organically or naturally say so on the listing.

Worth asking before you go:

• What is in a typical box in June, and in September?
• Where is pickup, and what if I miss a week?
• Is there a half share, a work share, or a payment plan?
