What is CSA in NYC?
Just Food matches farmers within our foodshed (250 miles from NYC) with CSA groups in the city.  CSA members pay the farmer a share price at the beginning of the season.  During the growing season, the farmer drops off a variety of farm-fresh food for the CSA members each week.  If you have questions about becoming a farmer for CSA in NYC call Jen Griffith at 212.645.9880 ext. 231 or email her at farmeroutreach[at]justfood[dot]org.
