Bay Ridge CSA

This was our first year with Bay Ridge CSA after recently moving to the neighborhood and we could not be happier. We did a veggie half share; the only thing I want to figure out is whether or not to go to a full share and what else I’m going to add — fruit, dairy, et al. I also look forward to doing some of the special orders, meat in particular, which I have not yet done. The people could not be nicer and the food is terrific. I’m so glad we’ve joined!

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.

As we finish off a season and sign up for another, I have no complains. We got beautiful copious produce throughout the entire season. We also signed up for the egg share and the eggs were the tastiest I’ve ever had.
The volunteer hours are a breeze. The people are friendly and a pleasure to deal with. BR CSA is part of a CSA network that offers a year-​round purchasing option for eggs, jams, pastured meats, grains, and cheeses. I order from various sources that compose the CSA network regularly and everything is always of great quality.
I can’t wait for next season!
