Crown Heights CSA - Register in one week

This from the organizers of the CSA ([email hidden]), paraphrased by me: They are all set to go for 2009, with registration taking place this coming Sunday, April 5, at Franklin Park from 2-6pm. Full shares will cost $565 (feeds 3-5) and partial shares will cost $350. The best deal, unless you have a family, is to split a full share with friends, and the organizers will facilitate some pairing up on Sunday. The pick-ups will start June 9, also at Franklin Park, and run for 23 weeks every Tuesday from 4:00-7:30. Members will be asked to work two two-hour shifts helping to hand out produce over the course of the season.

They plan to have a website up soon, but if you're interested in what will be offered you can check out the DUMBO CSA (www.dumbocsa.com), which works with the same farmer. In order to reach as many people as possible, they've applied for grants to allow people to pay through installments (bring $100 to register on the day if you'd like to do this), and they're soliciting local artists/bakers/creators to donate items to sell in order to subsidize low-income shares as well.

Many thanksto Franklin Park, who are volunteering their sidewalk space for pickup, as well as an indoor space in case of rain, and letting the organizers store materials at the bar.

I wish they offered more than just veggies...

Congrats to the organizers for getting this off the ground. Last time you posted, they still needed a number of people to commit.

The Crown Heights CSA website/blog is up:

Note that registration will officially open at 2:30, not 2:00 -- we had a bit of confusion with the bar staff about when they opened. D'oh! But you can still come sign up for veggies after that.
