How Does it Work?
A CSA is not like shopping at the supermarket. Your weekly share will be fresh organic vegetables and fruits grown in season and picked just prior to delivery. The quantity of food varies based on the harvest (there is risk involved), but we usually receive between 7 and 9 different items per week. Depending on the size of your household and/or cooking habits, the share may serve a supplement to your usual shopping. In an average year, the share prices reflect a savings of about 15-20% off what you would pay in a green market for a comparable amount of local organic produce. The season lasts from mid-June to mid-November (about 21 weeks). 2019 will be our sixteenth season!Deliveries will begin in mid June and run for 21 weeks through mid-November. The farm will deliver to the distribution site at the Bainbridge Avenue Garden (2974 Bainbridge Ave., between Bedford Park Blvd. and East 201st Street). Pick-up time will be between 4pm and 7pm on Wednesdays or Thursdays.
