We recognize your persistence because it’s taken us a bit extra time than common to determine what our farm and CSA program will appear like for the approaching yr.

Typically issues occur for a cause, and this has actually given us the chance to rethink our plans for the farm and our household. After farming at full throttle for the previous 28 years, we’re able to restructure the farm with a bit extra emphasis on a wholesome work-life stability. We have missed lots of household time with our two boys and that is time we simply cannot get again. Hopefully that is only a non permanent downsizing!

This can allow us to persevering with rising for you whereas protecting our long-time farm workforce members employed. We have needed to make the troublesome determination to shut some pick-up areas, however we have tried to maintain the websites unfold out evenly throughout Lengthy Island in order that we are able to attain as a lot of your communities as doable. Please be aware that we’ve got switched pick-up days and occasions for some areas. You possibly can preview the 2022 CSA Decide-up websites on our web site now.
We’re deeply grateful to all of you to your help and love all these years and we look ahead to a bountiful rising season forward!
