Did you know?
vegetables   March 2010 - Monkshood Nursery and Gardens, a farm located in upstate New York, is very interested in being the food provider of fresh produce in a citizen co-op environment on the lower east side of Manhattan. This long overdue endeavor would be a partnership between the farm and the co-op member, forming a CSA. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, which is a program for purchasing fresh produce from a single, regional farm. With a CSA, members buy a fixed-price share of a farm's output at the beginning of the season, and receive a selection of their harvest once a week from June through October.
