About

Community supported agriculture provides city dwellers with access to high quality, locally-grown, and affordable produce, while at the same time helping to support family farms & their environmentally sustainable agricultural practices.

The Stanton Street CSA offers shares during both the summer and winter. The share price goes towards the cost of paying our farmers a living wage as they grow and distribute a season’s worth of produce, and also towards produce donations to various local soup kitchens. During the summer season, our members are required to work three volunteer shifts (lasting between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours each) at our distributions.

Over the course of the year members pick up their shares during distributions held at the lower east side M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden, and 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, mushroom, maple, and grain shares.

We’re proud to be in partnership with the best farmers on the planet Ted and Jan Blomgren and their incredible staff at Windflower Farm, who lovingly produce organically grown vegetables (USDA certified by PCO). Their growing techniques include composting, cover cropping, and crop rotations to produce delicious vegetables that are good for the earth and healthy for you. All of the farm’s fertility comes from local sources and all of its electricity comes from the sun. Windflower Farm is located in Washington County, NY.
