ANNOUNCING: The 2014 CBCSA Season!

Hello Members and Soon-to-Be Members,

It’s our favorite time of the season – the first part when we focus on building our CSA community! That means accepting applications for all our Veggie loving/CSA sponsoring neighbors in the Central Brooklyn area.

Share applications for the 2014 season will be on their way soon to your email inbox and will be posted here as well, so be on the lookout for your email and check back soon.

This year, distribution will take place between June 12th through November 6th on Thursdays, between 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Hebron French-speaking Seventh-day Adventist Church at 1256 Dean Street Brooklyn, NY 11216.

Any questions please leave a comment below, or email us at centralbrooklyncsa@gmail.com

We look forward to seeing returning members and new members on the first week of distribution!

It’s never too early to think about a summer CSA!

Let’s face it- it’s freezing! We have had some of the coldest days this winter season. And with more snow on the horizon, even if you like winter weather, it’s still nice to think about being warmer. And if you can agree, let’s snuggle in with the Central Brooklyn CSA and look forward to the warm distribution nights we have ahead of us this year. The following are a few of the updates on the progress and plans we have made so far:

1. As fortune would have it, the Hebron SDA Church (at 1256 Dean Street) has welcomed us back for 2013 distribution.

2. The 2013 season will run from June 13 through November 7 and our distribution day and times will continue to be on Thursdays from 5:00 to 7:30.

3. Jan and Ted Blomgren from Windflower Farm will return as our farmers. In addition to the vegetable share, they will be also be offering us fruit, egg and flower shares. As a reminder, Jan and Ted farm organically and are certified by NOFA.D fruit shares will be available on a sliding scale based on income.

4. More details about share prices and options will be made available in the near future! We will also have membership forms for this season made available in the next month or so.

If you have any questions or would like to take on a core group role, email us at centralbrooklyncsa@gmail.com for more information.

CORE GROUP MEMBERS NEEDED: We could use help with different levels of organization and coordination including membership outreach, coordinating weekly distribution, and event planning! In the past, such volunteers have been able to receive benefits for their much needed and appreciated assistance. Think about it and contact us over the next few months and throughout the season if you’re interested.

Looking forward to a great season!
