We recognize your persistence because it’s taken us somewhat extra time than ordinary to determine what our farm and CSA program will appear to be for the approaching yr.

Generally issues occur for a purpose, and this has definitely given us the chance to rethink our plans for the farm and our household. After farming at full throttle for the previous 28 years, we’re able to restructure the farm with somewhat extra emphasis on a wholesome work-life steadiness. We have missed lots of household time with our two boys and that is time we simply cannot get again. Hopefully that is only a short-term downsizing!
So… We are going to proceed to develop for our fantastic CSA group, however we will likely be providing fewer shares than we have had up to now. This can allow us to persevering with rising for you whereas maintaining our long-time farm group members employed. We have needed to make the troublesome resolution to shut some pick-up areas, however we have tried to maintain the websites unfold out evenly throughout Lengthy Island in order that we will attain as lots of your communities as potential. Please word that now we have switched pick-up days and instances for some areas. You’ll be able to preview the 2022 CSA Decide-up websites on our web site now.
We’re deeply grateful to all of you to your assist and love all these years and we sit up for a bountiful rising season forward!
