Sample Full Share
Want farm fresh fruit at an affordable price? Here’s your chance to stock up your fridge AND support a local farm! Red Jacket Orchards is offering a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to locals. Become a member and pay a farm upfront for a share of produce that you can pick up at a nearby distribution spot once a week. Not only do you get high quality fruit at a cheaper price, but a CSA also guarantees revenue for the farm. From August through November, members are provided with the best produce the farm has to offer, like peaches, plums, pears, apples, grapes, and even jams and juices.
Unlike most markets, CSA allows the consumer to learn about the farm heir food comes from, as well as the people who produce it. While most vegetable CSAs are sold out in the city, this fruit CSA is completely new and accepting new members!
Interested? Half shares are $13 and full shares are $22. The Brooklyn pickup center is at Brooklyn Pharmacy and Soda Fountain at 513 Henry Street in Carroll Gardens on Tuesdays from August 10th through November 9th 4-6:45pm.
