How does a Farm Share work?

A Farm Share connects you to a local farm, allowing you to get the freshest produce at a great price, and giving the farmer a guaranteed customer for the season. When you buy a Farm Share, you'll visit the Greenwood Heights CSA distribution location every Saturday morning from June through October to pick up your weekly share of the farm's veggies, delivered fresh that morning.

Support a Small Farm.

All of the veggies in your Farm Share will come straight from Hearty Roots Community Farm in Tivoli, NY, after being harvested at the peak of freshness, taste, and nutrition. Hearty Roots is deeply committed to environmentally-friendly and sustainable growing practices that in many ways exceed the organic standards. The farmers use absolutely no chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

What produce will I receive if I join?

Hearty Roots grows dozens of varieties of produce, chosen for their excellent flavor. Each week you will get a variety of what's in season at the moment, for example:

• Spring: Lettuce, beets, radishes, cooking greens, green garlic, peas...
• Summer: Zucchini, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, greens, beans, carrots, onions, garlic, melons, cabbage, fennel, broccoli, swiss chard, lettuce...
• Fall: Winter squash, kale, carrots, turnips, fennel, potatoes, beets, kale...

How much food will I get, and what does it cost?

A Farm Share is meant to provide a household of two to three people with enough vegetables for a week. That means you'll get 6-10 different items per week, for a total of 5-15 lbs of produce per week. The cost for the season (June — October) is $500 if you want to get veggies every week, or $250 if you want to get veggies every other week. Fruit shares are $205 for a full share and $102.50 for a half-share.

When & where will I pick up my vegetables?

Our distribution location is inside Slope Park at 6th Avenue between 18th and 19th street. Pickup hours are every Saturday, June through October, between 9am and 11:00am. If you know you'll miss a pickup you can always send a friend to get your veggies for you.

When & how do I sign up?

We are currently sold out for the 2009 season, but you can email us to get on our mailing list for next season.
