Harvest Hub, run through the North Coast Growers Association in Arcata, brings Humboldt County's small farms to buyers two ways: multi-farm Harvest Box CSA subscriptions for households, and wholesale produce volume for schools, food banks, tribes, restaurants, and food trucks. It works as shared market infrastructure so individual farms don't each need their own sales and delivery operation to reach institutional buyers.
