Chubby Bunny CSA ¦ New York City

Who We Are

Our CSA produce comes from a conglomerate of amazing small family farms in CT, NY and PA with the bulk it (vegetables and fruit) coming from Hepworth Farms. Hepworth Farms is a seventh generation family owned farm in Milton, NY on the banks of the Hudson River. The farm is lovingly run and operated by Amy Hepworth, Gail Hepworth and Gerry Greco. Hepworth's vegetables and berries are Certified Organic and they practice Integrative Pest Management when farming the rest of their fruit.

What is a CSA?
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a partnership between a city group and a regional farmer. During the winter and spring, the CSA farmer sells shares in her/his farm's upcoming harvest to individuals, families or institutions. The share price goes toward the cost of growing and distributing a season's worth of produce and paying the farmer a living wage. By supporting Dan and Tracy, our CSA members not only get freshly picked, delicious food once a week at a very affordable price, they are also helping to preserve local/sustainable agriculture and farmland, and get to enjoy being part of a community of food-conscious neighbors, participate in pot-lucks, trips to the farm and other fun events. Members are required to volunteer for 2 or 3 1.5 hour 'shifts' to help out at the site over the course of the season.

How much does it cost?
The price for Veggie shares are TBA and typically include 10 to 14 different items each week, generally enough for a family of 4 or a vegetarian couple.  We also offer smaller shares which are more manageable for single person households or those who don't eat a lot of veggies. Once determined, the weekly cost comes out to much less than the cost of the same amount of food that you would purchase at your local organic grocer or farmer's market!

Where and when do we pick up our veggies each week?
For 24 weeks from early June through November, freshly harvested produce is delivered from the farms to our distribution site in NYC, Church of St Paul & St Andrew, 263 W 86th St at West End Ave. Members collect their food at the site between 5 and 7 PM every Tuesday.

We also offer optional shares of; eggs, non-homogenized/non-pasteurized raw milk, low-spray fruit, pastured chickens, grass-fed beef, goat cheeses and goat yogurt. Organic local beans, flours and grains are offered once a month and pastured turkeys are available to order for Thanksgiving.

Members can also purchase natural, grass-fed beef and pork on a week to week basis.
