Fresh vegetables for delivery in Vancouver, WA

I recently visited a friend who is disappointed that a difficult pregnancy and new baby have kept her from tending her vegetable garden. She is vegetarian and looks forward to her homegrown goods all year. I would like to have a nice selection sent to her. She will still have tomatoes and zucchini, so those would not be preferable in a basket. Any recommendations for Vancouver/Portland area growers or stores I can contact?

    Have your friend check with the CSAs on LocalHarvest

    Most of them are probably booked for this summer, but some have fall and winter schedules and of course there's next summer...

    Our local Vancouver paper also had a list of other growers in the area...some might deliver? Probably will be a stretch for a grower in Portland...

      You and/or your friend might consider visiting the Vancouver Farmers Market at Ester Short Park.

        I do not live near Vancouver (I was just passing through and stopped to visit), so I was hoping for a suggestion for a grower or local merchant that would deliver. I'm sure she's been to the FM, but there's no way she makes it on a regular basis.
