General Questions

  • Foodshed operates a multi-farm Farm Box program. This is similar to CSA programs that individual farms operate. As a food hub, we aggregate from a network of local, regenerative farmers. By becoming a subscriber and receiving regular diversified bags of fruits and vegetables, you support our network and reduce each farm’s individual risk. Every week your Farm Box will comprise produce from multiple farms!

  • We work with small to mid-sized, regenerative farmers primarily in San Diego County. These are farms in North County, Ramona, and the Tijuana River Valley among other areas. We typically source from around 30 different farms each growing season. Some farms rotate through depending on the season.

  • Seasonal vegetables and fruits for our Farm Box program and weekly markets.

    Eggs, ground beef (frozen) and whole/half chickens (frozen) at our Tuesday/Saturday markets.

    A variety of vendor products—bread, pastries, honey butter, shampoo, granola, ceramics and more. Some available during non-market hours.

  • Yes! We have 2 weekly markets: Saturday 9am - 1pm and Tuesday 3pm - 6:30pm at our hub in City Heights where we sell produce. Many of our Farm Box customers decide on a Saturday pickup so that they can also purchase extra fruits and veggies.

  • Yes! We prioritize local farmers and producers. We work directly with local suppliers to bring you the freshest seasonal products while supporting our local economy. 95% of our farmers live and work in San Diego County and a handful are in Riverside.

  • As of right now, we are in the process of changing addresses so we do not accept it at this moment.

    We offer 5 item, 10 item, and egg subscriptions; all sourced from our neighbor farmers.

  • Click here or on “Get Produce” at the top of the page!

  • We charge and place orders a week in advance for orders fulfilled the following week.

    Thank you for your understanding!

    For example: Your pick up is Saturday 6/22; We place our orders with farmers and charge you the previous week Monday-Wednesday 6/10-6/12. (This is why we require a 2 week notice for cancellations and subscription pauses.)

  • You decide whether it’s every week or every other week.

    If you want a farm box every other week, we have an A and B schedule.

    The schedule is at the bottom of the webpage!

  • Yes! Reach out at 619.717.7079 or customerservice@foodshedcoop.com to learn more.

  • Yes, log into to your Account and go to Subscriptions. On the right side of your screen, you can select “Put Subscriptions on Hold” and input the dates you’d like to pause.

  • Our policy asks for order cancellations and pauses 2 weeks in advance. If you’re past that deadline, please connect with orders@foodshedcoop.com. You may also have a friend or family member pick up on your behalf.

  • We offer home delivery to certain zip codes in Central SD; City Heights, SE San Diego, and North Park and San Diego West; Mission Hills, Hillcrest, Point Loma, and Ocean Beach. We also have community pickups located in Hillcrest, Normal Heights, South Park, Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs, Kensington, Julian, and Barrio Logan.

    There is an extra charge for home deliveries ($5) and community pickup sites ($2/$3).

  • Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to offer customizable boxes. We are a small business with no full-time packer! If you have a dietary restriction, we allow subscribers to swap items during our Saturday loose produce market. Some members opt into a Saturday order pickup day in order to supplement with additional loose items.

  • All neighborhood pick up locations close at the end of the day due to lack of cold storage. We do not credit or reimburse for missed picked up farm boxes.

    For pickup at our Food Hub location in City Heights, we can hold produce until Saturday.

  • Sorry about our mistake! If you’re missing an item, please reach out to orders@foodshedcoop.com or call 619-717-7079.
