A fabulous opportunity for those without their own "wheels" to get out of the city for an afternoon and enjoy some fresh air.
the problem
We make local fruits and veggies more accessible to our community by running the CSA, which partners with Golden Earthworm Farm on Long Island. We also do educational programming on things like eco-friendly cleaning, environmental issues, and nutrition for children and adults who are part of the CSA and members of the community as well. We also provide subsidies for a certain amount of shares to make this produce available to members who could otherwise not afford to join and help increase awareness of agricultural issues among this disadvantaged group.
the solution
The Fall Farm Visit is open to Astoria CSA members and the wider community to visit our partner farm on Long Island. It's a fabulous opportunity for those without their own "wheels" to get out of the city for an afternoon and enjoy some fresh air. On the farm activities include a member potluck, meet-your-farmer and farmer-led tour of the farm! Money funds one 40 passenger school bus to the farm.
