We admire your persistence because it’s taken us slightly extra time than typical to determine what our farm and CSA program will appear like for the approaching yr.

Generally issues occur for a purpose, and this has actually 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 slightly extra emphasis on a wholesome work-life stability. 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 great CSA neighborhood, however we might be providing fewer shares than we have had prior to now. This may allow us to persevering with rising for you whereas retaining our long-time farm staff members employed. We have needed to make the troublesome choice to shut some pick-up places, however we have tried to maintain the websites unfold out evenly throughout Lengthy Island in order that we are able to attain as a lot of your communities as potential. Please word that we have now switched pick-up days and occasions for some places. 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 stay up for a bountiful rising season forward!
