About Us

Grand Street Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between residents of Grand Street and other neighboring blocks on Manhattan's Lower East Side, and Woodbridge Farm in Salem, Connecticut.

Weekly Distribution

Full and Half shares are picked up every Tuesday from 5pm to 8pm at: Roots & Vines, 409 Grand Street (between Clinton and Suffolk streets). Shares that are not picked up will be donated to the Henry Street Settlement's Community Consultation Center. Remember to BYOB (bring your own bag) each week!

The Facts

Our CSA season runs from the last week in May through the first week in November. Each week, farmers David and Julia Smagorinsky will deliver locally grown, certified organic produce right to our community.

Cost for the 2008 season is $565 for a Full Share and $315 for a Half Share. A Full Share is enough to feed four people for one week. A Half Share is enough to feed two people for one week. (These guidelines do not account for vegetarian households.)

If you want to learn more, send an email to info at grandstreetcsa.org or stop by and visit us during distribution.
