New Neighborhood Foods CSA

Posted by on March 19, 2012

West Philadelphia’s first urban farm-based CSA, Neighborhood Foods, is accepting members for the 2012 season!

Members of the Neighborhood Foods CSA will receive weekly shares of vegetables from West Philadelphia gardens and fruit from farms in the greater Philadelphia area. The 22-week CSA runs from mid-May to October, and offers add-on options of locally-produced seasonal jam, local honey, and bread from Four Worlds Bakery.  Purchasing a share is more then buying a product, it is an investment into local business and local communities.  All profits from our CSA are re-invested into the Haddington and Walnut Hill neighborhoods where the produce is grown, supporting urban employment and youth leadership development. We also make all of our produce affordable for residents in the neighborhood, so everyone can enjoy fresh quality produce.

To become a member, fill out the application form on the Farm to City website: http://farmtocity.org/Home.asp?mname=Neighborhood+Foods

Pick up sites are:
Walnut Hill Community Farm at 46th & Market Streets, Friday afternoon
Four Worlds Bakery at 47th & Woodland Streets, Friday evening or Saturday morning
Rittenhouse Farmers Market at 18th & Walnut Streets, Saturday morning
Narberth, Friday afternoon

The Neighborhood Foods CSA is a collaboration between West Philadelphia nonprofits Urban TreeConnection and Enterprise Center Community Development Corporation.
