Riverdog Farm will continue deliveries of the CSA veggie boxes, eggs, and pork and web orders to the drop sites. We would like to inform our members that we are taking precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of our farm employees, community and our customers. We are a CCOF certified organic farm. We are also certified annually for Good Agricultural Practices standards (GAP), a food safety certification program conducted by CCOF. Riverdog Farm employees are trained annually in safe food handling practices. It’s our policy for farm employees who may have symptoms of illness to stay home.

To continue to support the farm during these challenging times please consider boosting your weekly subscription to include eggs, pastured meat and/or increase your order to 2+ veggie boxes:

  • Add Riverdog Farm CCOF certified organic eggs to your weekly or bi-weekly CSA delivery. Just follow this link: https://csa.farmigo.com/account/riverdogfarmcsa

  • Chickens are now available. They range from 3-6 lbs.

  • Asparagus is available at the markets this week. Then it will be included in the CSA veggie boxes, when we have enough for each veggie box.

  • Carrots will be harvested and available at markets the week of the 23rd. You can pick these up and our other veggies at the 3 Berkeley markets on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, and the Sunday market in Sacramento.

  • Holiday hams are now available. We have a limited supply. Place your order now for delivery with your next CSA order or pick up at market or email the farm  - csa@riverdogfarm.com to reserve one. Place your orders for spring hams by 9:00 am, Monday April 6, 2020 for timely delivery. We have a limited supply of hams so please place your order early. The weight range is 8.93 -11.5 lbs per ham. Riverdog Farm hams are smoked and cured at Roundman’s in Ft. Bragg. They are delivered frozen, in a cooler, to your CSA delivery site. Please return the cooler to the drop site the following week or leave it there at the time of your order pick up. 

The mandarins are from Gold Oak Ranch and are CCOF-certified organic.

Field Notes: Rain, Rain, come and stay… a major change in the weather pattern is ahead, looks like rain in Northern California all week! We are very pleased about the weather forecast. It also looks there will be some frost which enhances the sweetness of all the winter crops. We started to transplant 15 varieties of tomatoes. They will be frost-protected with overhead irrigation lines.

Reminder: Please make sure your credit card on file is updated on your CSA account so you subscription continues uninterrupted.
