(Some new additions will be sweet potatoes, strawberries, additional melon varieties, and a more colorful and extensive collection of heirloom tomatoes...yum!)</p> <p>Common Hands Farm delivers fresh farm shares to members who pick up at numerous locations in Columbia County, as well as Brooklyn Boulders located on 3rd ave and Degraw in Park Slope. This is a unique opportunity to directly support young farmers raising sustainably grown food, and to full immerse oneself in what it means to have a healthy, local and diverse diet. The produce in our shares is often harvested the same day as delivery-- how could food possibly taste fresher and better?</p> <p>Something that consumers don't often know is that CSA members that are able to sign up early in the winter months, are immensely valuable to farmers who are trying to buy crucial things like seed and equipment for the coming year.</p> <p>We work hard to make our CSA manageable, working with feedback from our members we have allowed for a certain amount of item switching so you arent ever stuck with vegetables you dont like. nobody wants that...</p> <p>We are also flexible with our payment plan and people can pay us in two installments so it is less fi<br /> nancial investment right away. Even if you cant even do that for a couple of weeks, it means most to us to know you are on board. we also work with EBT and FMNP food stamps. talk to us more about payment options by emailing us at <a href="mailto:hudsonlocale@gmail.com">hudsonlocale@gmail.com</a></p> <p>We really hope you join us this year and share this offer with as many friends as you can. If not, share our endeavor with as many people as you can anyway. It takes a whole community’s support to get a new farm off the ground. We look forward to hearing from you!</p> <p><a href="http://www.commonhandscsa.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.commonhandscsa.com</a> to sign up/for more info, or email us at <a href="mailto:hudsonlocale@gmail.com">hudsonlocale@gmail.com</a> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/brooklyn-eats/csa-sign-ups-open-1#post-752583 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:55:10 +0000 Flatbush Farm Share CSA 752583@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>The Flatbush Farm Share Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership sign up is now open for the summer 2012 season.
