Riverdale CSA

The Riverdale CSA was established in 1996 in collaboration with Riverdale Neighborhood House. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA is a unique partnership between a specific farm and a group of consumers. Membership in our CSA means receiving a share of the weekly garden harvest of Hawthorne Valley Farm. It also means coming to know and understand the life of this particular farm and supporting the farmers in their efforts to grow healthy, nutritious food in a way that is environmentally responsible.

By joining the Riverdale CSA, you become part of a unique long-term partnership that connects our members & our urban community to ecologically produced food, regional family farmers, & each other. Our community events, such as an annual spring gathering, offer you opportunities to learn more about our CSA & these connections. The CSA reaches further into the community through a project that it created & is committed to sustaining in partnership with the Riverdale Neighborhood House Teen Program. The program introduces lo- cal young people to nutritious fresh produce, pro- vides cooking instruction, and, when possible, in- cludes a visit to the farm. In addition, every week the CSA contributes surplus produce to a local soup kitchen and food pantry.
