We don't have added costs of transport, packaging and advertising when you buy through CSAs, the farmer receives a larger portion of the food dollar.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: AGRITOURISM

I truly believe that positive actions make a difference - so marching on Washington is great - that is how we are seen and heard - and so too are our food and travel dollars.  Imagine if residents of the five boroughs spent their hard earned money on UpState NY travel and agriourism - they would vote with their dollars on preserving farm land and farm family traditions in our Empire state.

Comment About the CSA
"... We get a whole box of fruits, veggies and herbs every week - The freshness surpasses anything we could find, as everything goes directly from the fields to our box to our fridge the day it is picked. The cost is significantly lower too... But what I like the best is that we don't know what's in the box until we open it (we could pick from choices online... or go to the farm) and some of the veggies, we are seeing for the first time in our lives. Plus we get to choose from a list of artisan products from maple syrup to sunflower oil.   It really feels like discovering a treasure every week and with ingredients that tasty, it's hard not to make something delicious. From Panano Romanesco tomatoes to Marina Di Chioggia pumpkin, we never stop learning.  And we have Farmers Frozen Foods for the winter months!  all for just $195.  Love it!"

Comments About Frozen Veggies
"It is so great having your frozen veggies this winter  - I made a simple soup began with your frozen block of mustard greens, herbs, salt some dehydrated toasted onion and celery and a parmesan rind and it turned into one of the best soups I have ever had!"
