    I'm wrapping up a second year with this CSA and I'm definitely signing up for another one. I'm a…read morewhole-foods, plant based eater so a CSA that has a large share of organic fruits and vegetables for often time 60-70% of the price of a farmer's market is definitely worth it for me. If you don't eat as many vegetables as me, and it's just one person, I'd recommend the small share or you'll have a very full fridge before you're able to use everything. Also, nice little bonus for environmentalists and people who try to limit food waste, any food left over from the pick-up gets donated to the food shelter at the location where distribution is. They also have a composting bin that you can compost things from home or the parts of your produce you maybe don't want... *ahem* radish leaves *ahem*. Anyway, it's a good CSA!

It's from Hepworth Farms in NY, which is organic. For whatever reason, the tomatoes were almost always rotten, and other produce went bad much faster than what their counterparts at Whole Foods. In fact, I saw tomatoes on sale at Whole Foods from the same exact farm, and they looked much better. Does Hepworth give the CSA the bottom of the barrel? The shares had very little variation. I frequently found myself at the supermarket buying different vegetables. Also, half shares were not truly half shares - almost every week the full share got veggies not included in the half share. Very frustrating. I cannot stress this enough, there were so many obnoxious emails! In addition to the always-late weekly update, expect non-stop emails harassing you to volunteer. If more volunteers are needed, they should require more than the 2 or 3 days stated, instead of pathetically begging everyone all the time.

    Still the farmers market that's the largest in Manhattan, and with the best variety. There are over…read more50 vendors from regional producers, bringing baked goods, coffee and tea, flowers, candles, herbs & spices, condiments, meats and charcuterie, dairy and cheeses, all sorts of seasonal fruits and vegetables, bath and beauty items, specialty foods like honey, kimchi, wine & beer. There's also a section of local artists selling things like tshirts, knickknacks, art pieces like paintings and collages. Regardless if I buy anything, I just love walking around the market looking at all the fresh, colorful produce, thinking of what delicious dishes could be made from the plethora of ingredients. Many top restaurants in the city book directly with vendors here, which says something about the quality of the products. Still open Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat. Usually the most vendors on Saturday I think. From 8am to 6pm, though on certain days depending on weather some vendors might start taking down their stands earlier. For more info: https://www.grownyc.org/greenmarket/manhattan-union-square-sa

The fruit and veggies are always so fresh and there's so much to pick from for great prices. Yes farmer's markets are more pricey but if you think about it it's really not when you can get so much more and better quality! There's a great variety of goods not just food. The vibe is always a lot of fun and classic staple to the city.

    The Park Slope CSA is the second CSA I have been a member of in Brooklyn and I love it! It's…read moreconvenient to where I live, which helps, but it's also seems to be the most affordable CSA in the neighborhood (~$23 week for a veggie share). This CSA partners with Windflower Farm. They are a small, organic farm in upstate NY and offer veggie, fruit, flower, and egg shares plus lots of yummy add ons from Lewis Waite Farms. The season runs for 22 weeks, from mid-June to early November. You pick up your share on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings at the Garden of Union in Park Slope, which is right of the R train. If you can't make it one week you can rest easy knowing the extras have been donated to a soup kitchen. I've been a member for four seasons and have loved the wide selection of veggies. There's always a solid selection of greens, amazing tomatoes in the late summer, and delicious sweet corn. Our farmer also sends potted herbs in the beginning of the season, which is awesome! We've had a full share in the past, but find that it is a lot of veggies for two people so are trying a half share this year. We've also had fruit and flower shares which have been great too! But my favorite is the egg share. You just can't beat farm fresh eggs! If you live in Park Slope or nearby neighborhoods, I highly recommend joining the Park Slope CSA!

    Awesome CSA. I…read moredecided to join a CSA because I wanted to eat better (I may or may not have recently dined on a packet of Ramen and Kimchi leftovers cause they were next to each other on the counter... but hey!) and expand my (very limited) cooking repertoire (see last statement). Plus, I was bored with my current healthy options. Enter Farmer Ted and the Park Slope CSA. I know there are several great CSAs in Brooklyn; I chose Park Slope CSA because of the incredibly convenient pick-up locations right of the R Train on Union Street (by Dinosaur BBQ but don't be tempted), the price (about $23 a week), and the flexibility (you have 3 hours to pick up your order on Tuesday or Thursdays or arrange for a friend/roommate to get it). I couldn't be happier with my decision. Last year I made about 90% of all my meals with food from the CSA and was delighted to fill my bag with varied veggies (broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, butternut squash, cabbage, carrots...) and a bag of fruit ( apples, peaches, plums). There is a list of the CSA website for you to take a look. Yummmm.... so excited! I'm a bad cook but even I have been able to make new, flavorful, fun dishes with my snazzy produce, and I can't wait to try more. Plus, the CSA has weekly or bi weekly emails that include updates and recipes. Sold.

Their customer service is awful: 1- Local Roots just changed my pickup point 48 hours before. The options they gave me is to go pickup produce far away (and risk infection with COVID at 35 weeks pregnant), or pay them 15$/week for delivery. They changed the terms of my subscription out of the blue. Now my choice is to incur in significant expenses, pause my subscription (at a cost of 5 dollars per week to me due to LR's negligence), or risk my health. They did not offer alternate arrangements, a refund, or even an apology. 2- During Isaiah, Local Roots decided to continue operations as normally despite the fact that the storm was forecast. The driver had an accident on the road in the middle of the storm, and the produce was late. We were informed 45 minutes after deliveries were supposed to start. We waited outside, post-storm, for an hour. The company put its workers and customers at risk. Local Roots offered no compensation, let alone an apology. Stay away from this company, unless you want constant headaches and aggravation due to poor planning and customer service. I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau as well as city and state authorities, and encourage all affected customers to do likewise.

Entering through the coffee shop, bad -- entering through the lobby, good. It'll make your little adventure begin on a higher note -- reasons are many, just please take my word for it. Six floors up and ten paces ahead, your faced with your first and only decision. Shall we take a right, or shall we take a left? When you don't know where you are going, it really doesn't matter which way you choose. The thick dry straw that cushion your walk keeps the dirt from becoming part of your wardrobe an unwanted souviner not tracked home. Staying on the main thorofare and avoiding non guided excursions towards the roofs edges is a good plan, if you do feel the need to venture, keep watch where your planting your feet. Flower beds sit snug in close proximity to the ground and are closely huddled together leaving them exposed for damage from a slight of step. The Greens family is fully represented, a Ware Rabbits dream come true, I gravitated immediately to the leeks, how I love them so. We purchased many items from the farmstand tgat had little or nothing to do with greens. Sourdough bread, hot sauce, honey, carrots and more all came home with me and will all work their way on to my Sunday menu.

I finally did this summer and what a wonderful thing to have in the city! Come visit them on Saturdays when the market is open and you can walk around freely in the farm. I recommend getting coffee and a snack from downstairs to take it up to the roof and enjoy in view of the city and of this farm. And of course, seasonal produce can be bought here just like other farmers markets. The selection is just limited in comparison. They also have a CSA of you're interested.

What I like about the CSA is that it gives you a means to support your local organic farm (in this case, Garden of Eve on Long Island, NY) and an opportunity to meet your friends and neighbors and to build up your community together. I've never been much of the cooking type and can't follow a recipe to save my life -- however, through the CSA I've been able to acquaint myself with new and fresh produce and acquire a much better understanding of how availability can change seasonally and by crop. The variety of food you might get in a share on any given time is pretty incredible. Over the course of a season (Spring / Fall / Winter) you're likely to receive a mixed variety of the following: Tomatoes, carrots, potatoes (Idaho, red, purple), sweet potatoes, cabbage, celeriac, daikon, onions, garlic, butternut squash, cucumbers (regular and "lemon"), basil, brussel sprouts, broccoli, radishes, rutabagas, mesclun lettuce, mizuna, mustards, bok choi, escarole, raddichio, scallions, Swiss chard, collards, mustard and other greens. Of course, if you haven't encountered any of these before in your supermarket, part of the real fun is sharing recipes and cooking tips and learning from your fellow CSA members how to prepare them.

I belong to the Briarwood CSA after being part of the KGCSA and the West Harlem CSA. I get my bag of groceries twice a month. I love everything that I get. Because of CSAs, I eat and cook more fruits and vegetables which have helped me in my battle to lose weight. I've met many neighbors through CSA because we have regular get-togethers and we volunteer to help once a season. I also like knowing the folks who are growing my food. Eve (Garden of Eve farm) and her family are good people. I have gone out to the farm on several occasions. It is a lovely drive out on Long Island's north fork.
