Viking Supported Agriculture (VSA) program returns for 2025 growing season

The Sustainability Engagement Institute continues to facilitate its Viking Supported Agriculture (VSA) program that connects the campus community to local food producers who deliver boxes of their fresh organic high-quality items directly to our office in 25 High Street Hall.

There is still time to sign up for the Viva Farms CSA that runs from June 11 through Nov. 19. Please visit their website to sign up directly at www.vivafarms.org/CSA

Our office is able to process SNAP/EBT payments for half-price shares when you come to our office to pick up.

Getting healthy food to people and supporting local and sustainable agriculture is a highly supportive activity that each one of us may be able to take part in for our own health, the health of the planet, and the greater good of our community. Please visit our website for more information on the VSA program: https://sustain.wwu.edu/viking-supported-agriculture/. If you have any WWU related questions, please reach out to Linda.Sterling@wwu.edu

Food security continues to be increasingly challenging for many of our community members. The Sustainability Engagement Institute has set up a dedicated fund to receive your donations to purchase fresh produce for students in need. You may donate here: https://foundation.wwu.edu/VikingSupportedAgriculture.

To date, $2,599.00 has been donated by the campus community, supplying the equivalent of 216 weeks of fresh produce for our students experiencing food insecurity. This food has gone directly to pop-up and campus pantries where it is most accessible. Please consider a donation today and thank you for your continued generosity!
