A Mixed-Income
Volunteer-Run Local Organization. Weekly Organic Produce Deliveries,
Optional Fruit & Flower Shares. New York City
Come and share the harvest:
Join the Park Slope Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA)
and receive fresh organic vegetables every week from June
17 to November 18. (Fruit, flowers, meat, and eggs are also
available.) The Park Slope CSA was founded in 2000 with the
help of Just Food, a non-profit organization that links city
residents with regional farmers.
Here is how the Park Slope CSA works: Sign up for the 2004
season of the Park Slope CSA and become a shareholder in the
organic bounty of Cooke Hollow Farm in Easton, New York. Beginning
June 17, you will enjoy 23 weeks of quality seasonal produce:
an abundance of tasty greens, juicy tomatoes, fabulous green
beans, scrumptious carrots, delicious fruit, gorgeous flowers,
and so much more.
From June to November, pick up your fresh produce each Thursday
at the Garden of Union, a community garden on Union Street
between Fourth and Fifth Avenues. Select from the many bins
of freshly picked vegetables delivered straight from the farm.
Share cost is under $16.00 a week; low-income memberships
are available and food stamps are accepted.
To become a member, or for more information, call 718.707.1023

Just Food began in autumn 1994 as the all-volunteer effort
of a number of New York City and Northeast food-system leaders
to promote a holistic approach to food, hunger and agriculture
issues.
Just Food envisions a strong regional food system -- incorporating
a diversity of rural farms and a robust urban farming component
-- that preserves ecosystems, reduces pollution, promotes
social justice, provides education about the environment,
and invigorates rural and urban economies.
