This is what its all about! I DOUBLE EXTRA HEART the Bay Ridge CSA!!
I am a life-long green-nik and eater of organic things. And don't believe you need to pay $5 for an apple nor get sneered at by some self-righteous hippie-yuppie in order to eat healthy, local, and organic. This CSA has got it all - friendly people, delicious, fresh food, more celery root than I would ever buy on my own, and convenient pick up location (as convenient as Bay Ridge can be).
They also have lots of other things you can order separately, from homemade bread to sausages to blueberry jam which was the BOMB. With gigantic fat blueberries in it.
A lot of friends tell me they have trouble getting into a CSA but I put my name on their list in Nov and they got in touch within 2 weeks. Last year they had a winter share of frozen summer vegetables and fruit. So I was getting fresh frozen raspberries in January. How can you beat that?! That's unfortunately not going to continue but the rest of the produce and people are excellent. And plus I got the egg share over the summer which was great, nothing is as good as real farm fresh eggs.
If you are having trouble getting into another CSA and you are anywhere near the R train the Bay Ridge CSA is a fantastic option. read more
