Viking Supported Agriculture
VSA is Western’s Community Supported Agriculture program, connecting students, staff, and faculty with Whatcom/Skagit County produce and producers. By signing up, you will receive a box of local, fresh, sustainably sourced food directly from farmers. Getting good food to people in crisis times and supporting local and sustainable agriculture is a highly supportive activity that each one of us may be able to participate in for the greater good of our community.
Sign-Ups
Please sign up directly at each farm website, using your WWU email if possible. For those of you who desire multiple shares, please follow the sign-up instructions for each provider. If any questions arise, kindly contact the provider directly. If you have WWU-specific questions, please reach out to linda.sterling@wwu.edu.
Please be sure to sign up using your WWU email address or identify yourself as a VSA participant. This helps our data!
Providers will continue to deliver their items in either single-use containers and/or bags (due to virus concerns), or multi-use containers that are sanitized between uses.

Donate VSA Shares to Students in Need
Food security continues to be challenging for our community members. We have set up a dedicated fund to receive your donations to help pay for weekly fresh produce for students in need. Last year our community donated a total of $729, paying for 60 weeks of fresh produce for our community members experiencing food insecurity. Thank you!
