CSA Program
What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture or CSA is a social, economic, and environmental arrangement between the consumer and the farmer.
In this model, the consumer is investing in food security and their health while supporting a local business. The farmer is committed to supplying members with the freshest food available that travels only a few miles to get to you.
This interaction reduces the carbon foot print of food production which is one of the greatest contributors to climate change. Becoming a member of the Pitt Street Garden CSA directly reduces your individual carbon footprint and demonstrates your commitment to developing a food secure network in our city.
Spring CSA
The spring CSA starts our season with three items.
- Sunflower greens
- Sweet pea greens
- The third portion is two pots of living greens ready for you to harvest fresh when needed. This could be substituted with some early spring vegetables such as spinach, kale, and heads of lettuce when they become available.
The Spring CSA basket is priced at $15/week for 10 weeks starting in April until June
