About our CSA
The Greenwood Heights CSA connects members to Hearty Roots Community Farm in Tivoli, NY. Our members get the freshest produce at a great price, and in return our farmer is guaranteed customers for the season.
Members visit the Greenwood Heights CSA distribution location in Brooklyn on Saturday mornings from June through October to pick up a weekly (or bi-weekly) share of the farm's produce, delivered fresh that morning. (Read more about the CSA movement.)
All of the produce is harvested at the peak of freshness, taste, and nutrition. Hearty Roots is deeply committed to environmentally-friendly and sustainable growing practices that in many ways exceed organic standards. The farmers use absolutely no chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Hearty Roots grows dozens of varieties of produce, chosen for their excellent flavor. Each week members get a variety of what's in season at the moment, for example:
- Spring: Lettuce, beets, radishes, cooking greens, green garlic, peas...
- Summer: Zucchini, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, greens, beans, carrots, onions, garlic, melons, cabbage, fennel, broccoli, swiss chard, lettuce...
- Fall: Winter squash, kale, carrots, turnips, fennel, potatoes, beets...
Listen to what members have to say! "We got an awesome variety of vegetables every week. There was no food monotony in our house." "The farm share changed our eating and cooking habits for the better. It was great to feel connected to the neighborhood!" Interested in membership details and how to sign up?
