A new multi-farm CSA is coming to Brooklyn, giving you a whole new way to get local goods. The shares may include everything from seasonal vegetables, fruits, duck, beef, eggs, grain and beans, and bread, all based on your preferences and all from regional farms that use healthy growing practices– all at one location!
So what makes it different than other CSAs? It’s unique model is designed to offer greater convenience, product variety, value, and payment flexibility. The summer season runs from June – August with members paying upfront for 12 weeks as opposed to the 24 weeks in other CSAs. Membership applications are due May 23, 2011 for locations in Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Williamsburg, and Tribeca. Information on products, farms, and how to sign up can be found at www.localrootsnyc.org.
Get ready for one of my favorite parts… one of the pickup locations will be one of my FAVORITE bars in Brooklyn, 61Local. 61Local will even host a fundraiser dinner on Monday May 9th. Chefs Cathy Erway, author of The Art of Eating In, and Noah Berland will cook a four course family style meal with ingredients sourced only from participating Local Roots CSA farmers. Ticket information and full menu can be found here.
