Community Supported Agricultre (CSA)

A) Whole Foods Market is committed to supporting local farmers like Tanaka Farms. Go to any Whole Foods Market and see their full line of fresh fruits and vegetables coming from around the Southland.

Q) Couldn't I just get my produce inside Whole Foods Market?

A) Yes, you could, but Whole Foods Market respects the fact that our produce is only available to the public through our Produce Stand or through our CSA program. Also, to prove their commitment to supporting the local farmer, 100% of the proceeds from the CSA box goes to Tanaka Farms.
