Your chance is here to join the DUMBO/Vinegar Hill CSA this season! From the DUMBO/Vinegar Hill CSA:

Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a way for people to buy vegetables directly from a local farmer. Before the harvest season, members commit and pre-pay to buy fresh, locally grown organic vegetables. This year the season runs from June 9 to November 10, 2009. Every Tuesday evening from 5-7:30 PM during the 23-weeks members will pick up their share in DUMBO.

In addition to our vegetable share, this year we also have fruit and cheese shares.

The vegetable share is $575 for a full share and $360 for a partial share. Both vegetables shares are for 23 weeks, June 9th-November 10th. To see examples of the organic vegetables we get from Sang Lee farms, please look at the delivery list on our website (www.dumbocsa.org).

The price for the fruit share is $150. The share is for 16 weeks, (mid July-mid October) 5lbs. of fruit each week. The fruits are blueberries, blackberries, peaches, pears, apples. The fruit farm is called Briermere Farms and it is also located on LI, www.briermere.com

The cheese share is $155 for all 23 weeks, 3-4 oz of cheese each week which is freezable. The cheeses are feta, chevre (herbed and plain) and after aging later in the season, cheddar and ricotta. The cheese woman is award winning, Karen Catapano, www.catapanodairyfarm.com/press.htm
