We are announcing sign ups for our 2023 season! Also, a reminder that the Meet the Farmers event hosted by the Sunnyside CSA at Sunnyside Community Services (43-31 39th St. at Queens Blvd. 40th St. stop on the 7 train) is on Monday, April 3rd at 7pm. Come meet our farmers from Angel Family Farm and ask them any questions. All are welcome!
This is the link to sign up for the 2023 share, deadline for signup is by May 31st. This year the price of the vegetable share remains the same at $700 for the 20 week share. If you don’t want to buy a full share, please consider splitting a share with a friend/neighbor. We have a very limited amount of subsidized shares available on a honor system/first come basis. 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.
Sign up for a 2023 vegetable share here!
Distribution will run from June 15th to October 26th on Thursdays from 5:30-8pm at St. Mark’s Church, 33-50 82nd St., Jackson Heights, NY 11372.
Each weekly share will have 5-6 items (generally 6 items, but if there’s a very large amount of one particular item, it may be 5 on some weeks). After discussing feedback from last season, our partner farm, Angel Family Farm has provided us with the following list for this coming season including:

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.
We thank Megan for her hard work and service as Volunteer Coordinator for the past few years and are currently looking to pass the torch to another member who would like to step into this role. Please email farmspot@gmail.com if you are interested to volunteer as a core member.
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/). 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.
Unclaimed Shares: Shares must be picked up each week between 5:30 – 8:00pm. If you can’t make it, feel free to ask a friend or neighbor to pick up your share. Farm Spot is not able to store unclaimed shares, all unclaimed shares will be donated.
Thank you for reading this all the way through, we look forward to our upcoming season!
