Super impressed by the high-quality, diverse shares of organic produce each week and appreciate flexible options for both share size and pickup location. If you have a chance to visit the farm, do it- it is cool to learn about their conservation practices and the way they provide work and training opportunities for resettled refugees in our community.

I was a CSA member with New Leaf a few seasons ago and joined again this Fall because I was missing the delicious veggies! Highly recommend.

Everything about New Leaf is elite. I've participated in maybe 20 CSAs across the country, and produce-wise, its one of the best, most ample, diverse, and interesting. Their customer service is patient, professional, and helpful, and they are just straight up good people. AND in addition to sustainably growing and distributing healthy and delicious produce, they serve an even bigger and more impactful purpose, promoting a more multicultural and equitable community. I am proud and grateful to be able to support this farm!

New Leaf CSA is amazing! I first signed up in Spring 2020 and I've been a member ever since. I love that the veggies are USDA-certified organic and that the farm is working towards regenerative agriculture certification. 200 baby chickens just arrived, so soon New Leaf will be offering organic, free range eggs, too.

I love knowing what produce is in season and having a fresh, colorful, delicious selection every week. I'm always shocked by the abundance of my CSA share.

I also love knowing my CSA membership supports refugee farmers with fair-wage work they enjoy. New Leaf is a social enterprise run by Multicultural Refugee Coalition (MRC). The farm - as well as MRC's presence at the Mueller Farmer's Market - connects refugees in Austin with both the land and the community, helping to create a sense of belonging and value.

New Leaf CSA is a win-win-win, good for the environment, good for our health and wellbeing, and good for refugees who now call Austin home. Hope you'll join us!

I've been a New Leaf CSA starting during the pandemic, and it's so wonderful to receive organic produce on a regular basis. During the break between the summer and fall seasons, I'm finding it hard to find anything comparable in the supermarkets. I'm spoiled! The shares are abundant and fresh, and the variety of produce is always impressive. I eat so much better and love learning about regenerative and organic agriculture practices while supporting refugees who've been resettled to Austin. Highly, highly recommend!

It's been two years that I've been apart of New Leaf's CSA, and I am still consistently surprised by the incredible quality of the produce, the staff, and the entire experience. The variety of the produce is one of my very favorite things - despite being a Functional Nutritionist who has always eaten many vegetables, I am regularly exposed to brand new veggies I have never even heard of! I love knowing that not only is everything organically farmed, but regenerative agriculture is a big part of New Leaf's farming practice as well.

I also love that they are apart of the Multicultural Refugee Committee (MRC). New Leaf is run by refugees who are paid a livable wage and who bring the expertise gained in their respective countries to the New Leaf farm.

I can't recommend New Leaf CSA enough!
