Crown Heights CSA
via Not Eating Out & Brooklynian:
What? Crown Heights doesn’t yet have its own CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture). A CSA is a group that buys “shares” in a farmer’s crop – when you buy a share, you’ll get a box of fresh ORGANIC produce delivered every week to Crown Heights by the farmer.
Who? We’re Crown Heights residents interested in access to fresh, local veggies, and we’re seeking other Crown Heights residents to join our CSA — we’d also welcome people who live nearby and would be willing to get their produce at a pick-up point located in Crown Heights.
How much? A share (for 3-5 people) is about $550 for 26 weeks (May to Nov.) – (That’s a full box of food @ $20-23/wk!) And a partial share is $375.
When? Where? The pick-up location will be near the Franklin Ave. stop on the 2/3 4/5 line on Tuesday nights starting at the end of May.
INTERESTED? E-mail crownheightscsa@gmail.com ASAP, and we can give you more details! For more info about CSAs in general, check out Just Food’s website at www.justfood.org.

Hello,
I’m so glad that we will have a CSA in Crown Heights! I checked out some of the CSA’s, and they have discounted rates for people who are unemployed, or on EBT Food, according to their incomes.
Will the Crown Heights CSA have a discounted cost for people who have little or no income?
Also I would like information on volunteering.
How can I sign up to be a member? travelriter@aol.com
Thank you!
