Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a way for people to buy vegetables directly from a local farmer. Before the harvest season, members commit and pre-pay to buy fresh, locally grown organic vegetables from June to November. Every Tuesday evening during the 23-week 2008 season members will pick up their share in DUMBO. Please e-mail core@dumbocsa.org if you have any questions or can volunteer to help organize and support our CSA.We offer both full and partial vegetable shares. Each of them are picked up every week, but vary in size. A full share costs approximately $25/week and consists of 8-10 different vegetables every week, enough for 2-4 people. Partial shares cost approximately $15/week and contain fewer items more appropriate for a single person or household that does less cooking.
About The Farm
Meet our farmers, Fred and Karen of Sang Lee Farms.
Sang
Lee Farms, Inc. was established in the mid 1940's by Fred's uncles,
John (Kim Poy Lee), Hugh K. Lee and father, George Kim Lee. Following George's return from his Navy tour of duty during World War II, the farm began supplying New York's Chinatown with quality Asian produce
grown in Melville, Long Island. As the markets changed and with the passing of some family members, Fred moved the farm operations in 1987 to Peconic, Southold, on the North Fork of Long Island. Today, Fred and
his wife Karen operate the farm with their three children and staff
growing more than 100 varieties of organic specialty vegetables,
heirloom tomatoes, baby greens, mesclun, herbs, specialty Asian greens
and flowers.
