The Bed-Stuy CSA is Accepting Members for the 2008 Harvest Season
By The Changeling | May 6, 2008
Here’s an important note from our friends at the Bed-Stuy CSA:
The Bed Stuy CSA is now accepting members for the 2008 harvest season through June 1st.
*The Bed-Stuy CSA* is a Community Supported Agriculture project of the Magnolia Tree Earth Center of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Inc. and Conuco Farm.
We bring fresh, locally-grown organic vegetables to the community at an affordable price through a mutually beneficial partnership between residents looking for quality produce and a local farmer of color. The season begins mid-June and ends end of October.
We are now accepting applications for our 2008 harvest season. Share prices for a full share are $475 and for a half share are $275. If your income is below $25,000, the share prices for a full share are $325 and for a half share $200.
In addition to getting great vegetables from Hector Tejada of Conuco Farm this year, we will be giving members the option to purchase additional fruit, egg and meat shares from local farmers through the CSA.
To sign up, you can download the membership contract at www.bedstuycsa.wetpaint.com or call us with any questions at (718) 387-2116 x12.
Picture of me admiring a VERY LARGE butternut squash from the Bed-Stuy CSA. Come. Join. You can’t deny the power of that squash.
