Our Mission
The Bronx Community Supported Agriculture, which is a mixed income CSA, provides an affordable alternative to standard grocery shopping. We work to provide healthier food choices for Bronx residents, where options are limited and many budgets are constrained.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs are found throughout New York City. Through CSAs, people are able to purchase fresh vegetables and fruits directly from local farms; this eliminates the middle man and ensures that the money spent goes directly to the farmers, which helps to support our local economy. The Bronx CSA differs from others in that our central aim is to foster a healthy and affordable food community where there aren’t many options available. By ensuring the availability of the freshest produce in the Bronx for people of all income levels, we are working to increase food security in the community, while providing universal access to healthy food.
We are organized in partnership with the New York City Coalition Against Hunger to bring fresh, local, affordable produce to all Bronx residents, regardless of economic status.
Our farm partner is Fresh Radish Farm, a small 9 acre family farm located in the Black Dirt region of Goshen, NY and Hepworth Farms, a 7th generation family farm located in Milton, NY.
