This year we are offering a non-certified, organically-grown Vegetable Share from Angel Family Farm (please see previous post for more info on the farm!). The share will include enough to feed a family of 3-4 people. The season will run for 20 weeks, from June 16th – October 27th, 2022.

MEET THE FARMERS at a virtual meet + greet on SUNDAY, APRIL 3rd at 6pm. Join Zoom Meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81148071982?pwd=OGY0dkpUa25xcUYwNTMzaWRQUVlnZz09 (if you can’t make it live, we will have a recording of the Zoom session available – just let us know!)

Distribution is Thursdays, 5:30 – 8:00pm at St. Mark’s Church, 33-50 82nd St., Jackson Heights, NY. Please note: we cannot save shares as we have no access to refrigeration. If you can’t make it to pick up, you can ask a friend/neighbor/family member to pick up your share. They simply need to know the name that the share is listed under. All unclaimed shares will be donated at the end of the evening either to Lion’s Share Food Pantry or the Jackson Heights Community Fridge.

Prices: Full Price Vegetable Share – $700 for 20 weeks (please note: across the board, all CSAs that we have been in contact with have had to increase their prices for the year, including Golden Earthworm.)

Subsidized Vegetable Share: $350 for 20 weeks There are a limited number of subsidized vegetable shares for members who cannot afford the full price. If you only need a half share, please consider splitting a share with another household who needs a subsidized share – we can help you find someone to split with.

Donations: As you may know, we run on extremely slim margins in order to keep the price for the share affordable and to be able to offer a very limited amount of subsidized shares to community members in need. Please consider making a donation to Farm Spot so that we can fundraise for subsidized shares. Subsidized shares are available now through this sign up link.

Volunteer shifts:
The requirement for membership will still be two shifts per share. We are 100% volunteer run and really value the time that you spend helping to make this happen in our neighborhood. Please remember that volunteering is part of your responsibility as a Farm Spot member. Megan, our volunteer coordinator, will email with details about volunteer sign ups. As a note, two households splitting a share are required to do a combined two shifts in total.


Splitting shares:
In past years, Farm Spot has encouraged members to look for share partners on social media and community message boards. People have been known to find share partners on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/farmspotcsa/) or on jacksonheightslife.com . If you cannot find a share on your own, please email farmspot@gmail.com and we will do our best to match you with a share partner.
