The Snoqualmie Valley Farmers Cooperative is selling Thanksgiving boxes, offering Seattle-area residents an opportunity to serve the bounty of the Snoqualmie Valley to holiday guests.

For $125, shoppers will receive a box delivered to their homes, packed with the ingredients and recipes needed to make seven side dishes and a pie, feeding six to eight people.

Participants will receive local cream, butter, flour, eggs, vegetables, and a loaf of bread. The box also contains recipes and a suggested timeline to make preparing a feast stress-free. Participants can also have a local, pastured turkey delivered with their boxes.

The Snoqualmie Valley Farmers Cooperative is an organization comprised of about 20 local farms working together to provide fresh produce to the region.

Member farms created the co-op so they could spend less time on logistics and more time growing food.

During the summer, the co-op provides Community Supported Agriculture boxes to subscribers and also sells its produce to restaurants and institutions such as hospitals and schools.

To order a box, visit www.snovalleycoop.com/thanksgiving-box. It will be delivered on Monday or Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
