Stanton Street CSA

Community supported agriculture provides city dwellers (particularly those in low-income neighborhoods) with access to high quality, locally-grown, and yes affordable produce, while at the same time helping to support family farms & their environmentally sustainable agricultural practices.

The Stanton Street CSA offers both a summer and a winter share. The share price goes towards the cost of growing and distributing a season’s worth of produce and paying the farmer a living wage. An administrative fee covers our site operating costs, and additionally, during the summer season, all members are required to work two volunteer shifts (totalling three hours).

Over the course of the year members take home many, many different types of vegetables—usually organic, always fresh-picked and changing with the seasons. In addition to vegetable shares, we also offer fruit, egg and flower shares, as well as extras such as assorted meats, dairy products and freshly baked breads.

At the end of each distribution session, unclaimed shares are donated to The Bowery Mission, a local charity that provides New York City’s homeless population with meal services, outreach programs, tutoring services and more.
