C.S.A. stands for~ Community Supported Agriculture.
Membership in a CSA is a way of directly supporting regional family farms and getting locally grown organic produce to your table.
Sustainable Hastings CSA shares are from Stoneledge Farm, in Leeds, NY (about 100 miles north of here). In exchange for our upfront contribution to the farm, members of our CSA program receive a weekly allotment of amazingly delicious, varied, organic, ultra-fresh produce.~Stoneledge Farm is certified organic by the North East Organic Farming Association of NY.~
Membership in Sustainable Hastings' CSA
You pay $495 for the season by check or credit/debit card directly to the farm.
For 24 weeks, beginning in June, Stoneledge delivers to Grace Espiscopal church (78 Main Street, Hastings)~every Wednesday. Members come between 11a.m.-1p.m. or 4-7p.m. that same day to pick up shares.
Each weekly delivery consists of 6 to 10 items (see examples below) - approximately 8 to 12 pounds of organic produce per week. You can also split a share with a friend or neighbor, each taking half a share (for more info on this, email us).~
Stoneledge Farm donates one share for every 10 members of the CSA. Last year we donated over 1,000 pounds of food to the Grace Food Partnership - supplying fresh food to residents in Hastings and Yonkers who typically only receive canned & boxed donations. Members who are unable to pick up a share or two during the season can choose to contribute to this donation (or choose any other beneficiary - friend or neighbor, etc. - to come pick up their share).
Stoneledge Farm CSA members have the opportunity to visit the farm and help in the harvest twice during the season - a great way to connect with where our food comes from.
