CSA 2019 - Week #23

This week marks week #23 out of our 25 week season. 
Please mark your calendars for the final week of our CSA season,
the week of November 18th.

There will be a make-up delivery on Tuesday, November 26th for the following locations due to a missed delivery back in July: Rockville Centre (all locations), Valley Stream, Forest Hills, APEC/Douglaston, Farmspot (Jackson Heights), Sunnyside, Flushing, Syosset and Port Washington - Main Street. 

SIGN UP for our CSA WINTER SHARE!
CSA withdrawal is a real thing...especially when you're faced with shopping for weeks- or months-old produce at the grocery store again.  Lifeless greens, tasteless carrots.  It's a bad time.  But you don't have to despair!  You can still eat local this winter!  Our Winter Share is primarily a root vegetable share with deliveries once a month from December through March.  Don't expect tomatoes and fresh greens.  This is straight-up authentic winter food - exactly what your grandparents (or great-grandparents) would have eaten all winter long back when growing your own food and eating what was in season was just what you did!
