Corbin Hill Farm Trip!

On Saturday, August 17, six buses of Corbin Hill Farm Shareholders, families and friends will roll out from the communities we serve -- Harlem, Washington Heights and the Bronx -- and head north to visit the upstate farms that grow the vegetables, fruit, eggs and turkeys that supply our weekly Farm Share. The goal is to not only learn about the New York State harvest calendar and our farmers' growing practices, but to build relationships between urban and rural -- and have a ton of fun!

To allow us to offer this trip free of charge to the community, we need your help! The cost in full for the day is $15,000 (see "BUDGET" tab), meaning each seat has an associated cost of $40. Help out by supporting a seat for yourself, and a seat for your neighbor! All donations are tax-deductible, and different levels of giving will win you fun, farm-y prizes:

$40 -- Corbin Hill magnet, to hold each week's Farm Share recipes! (allows one Shareholder to visit our farms)

$100 -- Your choice of an 8" x 10" print featuring a farm image created by artist and Shareholder Charles Thompson (allows 2+ Shareholders to visit)

$250 -- A selection of three jars of our farmers' jams, preserves and/or relishes (provides bus seats for a family of six)

$500 -- Gift basket full of Schoharie County's finest farm products, including dried herbs and goat soap (provides 1/3 of a bus)

$1,000 -- Your own weekend at the farm hosted by our founder, Dennis Derryck (provides for nearly a full busload of Shareholders!)

Note: Gifts at each giving level are inclusive of the levels before

Many of our members are new to eating vegetables (especially fresh ones), and even newer to understanding the New York harvest calendar, and the food systems that do (or do not) bring fresh food to their plate. This farm trip is intended to help connect those dots, as well as build fellowship and community among our Shareholders and friends.
