Only 8 more days to join our CSA!

Don't miss out on the amazing opportunity to join Parkchester CSA!

Membership includes a weekly distribution of a share of seven to eight kinds of vegetables from W. Rogowski Farm, a black dirt farm an hour away in Upstate New York, from June 18th until November 19th of 2011.

Distribution days are every Saturday from 10am to 12 pm at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1891 Mcgraw Avenue in the Parkchester section of the Bronx.

We understand that the amount of vegetables available in a share can be overwhelming for single-person or two-person households. To ameliorate this, we are also helping new and old members in finding sharebuddies through our volunteer team to share both the vegetables and the cost of a share. Please don't let the amount of vegetables in a share keep you from missing an opportunity for fresh, wholesome local produce every week.

Please contact contactturf@yahoo.com with any questions or to request an application. Pricing information is available on the application.

CSA member looking for a buddy to share

We have a csa member that wants to join but will be out of the country from mid-August to November. They would like to split a share with someone that wants veggies during this period. It is a little more than a half share and would cost 275 dollars. Please contact contactturf@yahoo.com if you are interested or have any questions!
