Eating locally doesn’t have to stop when the summer season ends: you can support local farmers and producers, reduce your carbon footprint, and enjoy the bounty of our region from December–April. Greensgrow’s Fresh Food Team searches out and meets with our region’s finest farmers and producers to plan our winter shares. As always, we make it our mission to gather a selection of the best produce and local food items from within 200 miles of our fair city for each share. Join us as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of growing, storage, preserving, and sourcing 100% local food!
First payments are due before your first pickup. Please keep in mind we contract with farmers on your behalf. When you sign up, you are committing to the full season’s payment schedule.
Sign up by November 26 to pick up the first share: Applications received later will start participation later, depending on the application date, prorated prices will apply.
What Makes Our CSA Special • Our CSA includes more than veggies. The share mimics the way people cook and eat, rather than providing just one of the food groups. You’ll receive a choice of dairy or vegetable protein; milk, eggs, butter, yogurt, tofu or seitan. We also include seasonal fruit, fun specialty prepared items and a few pantry staples.
• Greensgrow is a Non-Profit. Your support helps sustain our food access and educational programming; The Greensgrow Community Kitchen, SNAP Box Program (a low income farm share) and Greensgrow Mobile Markets (bringing local foods to underserved neighborhoods). Reinvesting in our community is what we’re all about. Triple bottom line, social entrepreneurship; your support helps us do good work.
• Our Locations: This winter you can pick up at Greensgrow Farms in Kensington or Greensgrow West in West Philadelphia. At Greensgrow Farms you can observe a working urban farm in action while you shop at our farmstand and garden center. We carry a quality selection of produce, pastured and grass-fed meats, artisan cheeses, breads, locally produced goods, and plants galore. At Greensgrow West, you’ll be a part of the evolution of our new community and green space. In addition to the garden center you can expect a mini-farmstand with seasonal produce and local bread.
