New City Farm

My husband and I participated in the New City Urban Farm CSA last year and will be participating again this year. We had a half share for the two of us and it gave us plenty of produce for each week. We were also able to can and store some of our produce and have enjoyed it throughout the winter months.

We enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to pick up our CSA. There was a lot of variety in the produce each week including different assortment of vegetables (ie. 3 types of carrots, or 5 types of squash) and I appreciated the number of heirloom varieties.

We appreciated the chance to participate in the farm through work-days, u-pick opportunities and the harvest dinner, which gave us a chance to meet other CSA members and the farm staff.

We also liked stopping by while the New City Breaktime Bakery was open (a job-skills training program for middle schools) to pick up some bread and pizza dough to go along with our vegetables.
