The Kensington-Windsor Terrace CSA is open to new members, but hurry up - the number of shares is limited.
The basics:
The Farmer: Eve and Chris, of Garden of Eve farm on the East End of Long Island
Pick up for this CSA is at the East Fourth Street Community Garden (located between Caton Ave and Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn)
2010 SEASON: 24 weeks, for all shares except flowers, which will be 20 weeks (ends on October 30).
The season begins Saturday, June 12th and ends Saturday, November 21st (the weekend before Thanksgiving)
Half-shares will be assigned A or B week and come for a "full" pickup every other week. Those assigned “A” week will start their pickups the first day of the season, i.e., Saturday, June 12th, and come every other week after that through the entire season. Those assigned “B” week shares will start pickups the second week, i.e., Saturday, June 19th, and come every other week after that through the entire season. If you have a preference, please indicate it on the sign-up form.
2010 SHARE TYPES:
We will offer full and half shares of organic vegetables, organic flowers, non-organic local fruit, and free-range pastured eggs fed organic feed. Half shares are just slightly more than half the price of a full share. PLEASE NOTE: A vegetable share (full or half) MUST be purchased in order to purchase shares of eggs, fruit or flowers.
EGG SHARE NOTE: A full share of eggs is ½ dozen every week; a half share is ½ dozen eggs every other week.
2010 SHARE PRICES: Share prices do not include an administration fee that will be charged by the CSA coordinating group, which is separate from the farm. The KWT CSA core group will collect a $10 admin fee at your first pick-up.
