All New: Three Seasons Starting April 16!
We are now ready to offer you three seasons of produce in 2011. We can do this because of the availability of several greenhouses, or high tunnels, built for season extension. Subscribe to any or all of the three 8-week seasons to suit your needs. A variety of the most vitamin-packed, cold-hardy veggies will be in their prime just when our bodies really need them in early spring. The summer and fall seasons bring you all your favorite summer produce.
The Work in Beauty CSA is a unique orchestration of various small, intensive garden plots located in Gallup, taking advantage of the moderated growing environment and natural resistance to pests in the urban gardens. Your CSA subscription supports local growing without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint for the consumption of essential fresh vegetables in the high, dry Defiance Plateau.
Each 8-week season has early discounts and deadlines for sign-up. Click the button to sign up immediately and pay using your credit card through secure PayPal.
Two Share Sizes to Meet Your Needs
Expect a full share to feed a vegetable-oriented family of four, and a half share to satisfy the vegetable needs of the average couple. Now you don’t need to find partners to split a share. We will make a half-share with your name on the box, just for you.

The spring share brings you the sweetest carrots, and the mildest and crispest greens, spinach, and lettuce you will ever taste.
