Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a way for people to buy vegetables directly from a local farmer. Before the harvest season, members commit and pre-pay to buy fresh, locally-grown, organic vegetables. This year’s season runs from mid June to mid November 2012. Members will pick up their share in Dumbo every Wednesday evening during the 23-week season.

We still have a few spots available—learn more and sign up today!

Payment deadline coming up

CSA Share Information

Vegetables

We offer full or partial vegetable shares, with fresh, local vegetables provided by Sang Lee Farms on Long Island. A full share costs $600 for the 23-week season (approximately $26/week) and each week, you’ll receive 8-10 different kinds of vegetables. Partial shares cost $380 (approximately $16.50/week) and contain fewer items more appropriate for a single person or household that does less cooking.  Please refer to our past delivery lists to see what we have had available last year.

Fruit

Optional fruit shares are provided by Briermere Farms. Fruit shares run for 18 weeks starting in mid-July, and cost $185 ($10.28/week).

A typical share consists of two containers of berries, or one container of berries and three pounds of fruit, or six pounds of fruit.  The berries begin in mid July with blueberries, raspberries, and gooseberries.  Peaches—yellow, white, and doughnut—begin in August, along with some early apples.  Finally, in September and October a wide variety of apples will be mixed with pears.

Dairy

We offer cheese, butter, and yogurt shares at the Dumbo CSA.

Cheese shares consist of 4-6 ounces of cheese each week for 18 weeks and cost $185 ($10.28/week). The cheese is provided by four different artisan cheese providers (Catapano Dairy Farm, Mecox Bay Dairy, Harpersfield Cheese, and Goodale Farms) in rotation.

The butter share includes four ounces of butter each week for 23 weeks ($5.87/week). The yogurt share provides 16 ounces of full-fat Greek yogurt each week for 23 weeks and costs $155 ($6.74/week). Both the butter and the yogurt come from Goodale Farms on Long Island.

Eggs

2012 is the first year that we’re offering egg shares as an optional add-on. A share consists of 1/2 dozen eggs every week for 23 weeks. The total cost is $80 (about $3.48 per week).

The eggs will be provided by North Fork Egg Farm in Southold and/or Young Widows Farm in Orient, and there will be a mix of medium and large sizes. The chickens on both farms are raised free range and fed a diet of organic feed with some supplements, and table scraps of other foods.

Our annual visit to Sang Lee Farms is coming up on Saturday, May 19th.
It’s a great chance to meet Fred and Karen and see where your vegetables come from, not to mention farm tours, gardening skills learning, and live music! Visit the Sang Lee Farms website for more details.
