Farms that have a workshare program?

Does anyone out there know of any existing workshare/csa programs offered by Seattle area farms? I've worked with some farms in the past that will let you volunteer with them in exchange for fresh produce.

    There are some farms that have work share programs, often as an alternative form of payment for receiving a weekly food box, though not many advertise, so it's hard to know where to ask. I think, from a farmer's perspective, it's sometimes hard to gauge whether or not having a large work share program is worthwhile, since it often requires so much planning and day-of management. I know Sol to Seed in Carnation has a work share group at the farm every Saturday and others may have save similar schedules. I think your best bet is to visit one of the bigger markets (U-District, Ballard, etc) where the farmers tend to come themselves (rather then sending a sales person) and just ask them directly.
