Time to enroll for summer 2024!

Enrollment is now open, for anyone who’d like to join us this summer for 22 weeks (full share) or 11 weeks (half share) of veggies, fruit, eggs, grains, and maple products. May 28th through October 29th, 2024.

Here’s how it works. You come by the community garden on Rivington & Forsyth with a couple tote bags, and load up on produce from the bins. Stop and chat with some neighbors, and maybe check out the swap table to see if there’s anything appealing that you can take home instead of the one root bulb you secretly don’t have any idea what to do with. On your way out of the garden, don’t forget to say hi to the chickens and koi fish. Go home and cook something incredible. Repeat every Tuesday evening. Work 2 or 3 distribution shifts per season (mandatory, but they’re only 1 hour and 15 minutes long each and most people find them fun).

If you sign up by March 31st you get early bird pricing, after that the price goes up a little. Our final enrollment deadline is May 12th (or sooner, if we sell out).

Think June vibes

It’s deep winter and the start of our summer season is still about 4 months away, but our CSA core group is coming out of hibernation to start prepping for the upcoming summer season. Before you know it we’ll be opening up enrollment to sign up members, so if you’re interested please make sure to let us know if you’d like to be kept in the loop about our Summer 2024 season!

We’re about to kick off winter season!

For those of you lucky enough to have snagged a spot in our winter season, mark your calendars with these distribution dates:

Saturday, November 18, 12:30 – 1:30 PM
Saturday, December 16, 12:30 – 1:30 PM
Saturday, January 6, 12:30 – 1:30 PM

Our CSA’s distributions happen year-round, in the great outdoors, at the M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden. Yes, even when the temps dip down to frigid. A few things to keep in mind:

• Your produce will come packed inside a 1-bushel cardboard box, which is sized to carry. However, many members prefer to transfer their items into tote bags or rolling shopping trolleys and leave the boxes with us (farmer Ted will reuse them!)–if that’s you, don’t forget to bring totes.
• Our distribution lasts exactly 1 hour, starting at 12:30 PM and ending promptly at 1:30 PM. If you come after that window, it’s likely that our local soup kitchen volunteer will already have carted off your items. Make sure you come on time!
• If you can’t make it to one of the distributions, send someone on your behalf, because we unfortunately can’t hang on to anything for hand-off at a later date or time. Offering your friend a bribe of something delectable from your box usually works wonders 🙂
• If you’re ever stumped about what to do with a particularly weird looking thing in your box, just ask around during distribution–our fellow members are a friendly and veggie-obsessed bunch! Or check out our online collection of recipes for ideas.

Summer season is underway

We’re trucking along, stuffing our bellies with Farmer Ted’s lovingly grown produce (as well as the fruit, eggs, grains, maple syrup, and mushrooms of his neighbor farms). We can’t add new members mid season but if you’re interested in joining for next year’s summer season, please reach out so we can put you on our email list for when we start taking enrollments in early spring of 2024.

Enrollment closed, wait list open!

Farmer Ted has closed enrollment for this upcoming 2023 season. However, it happens that people drop out before our first distribution on June 1st–so if you’d like to be added to our wait list, please get in touch!
