The farm has several pick up locations across Long Island - we were fortunate to have a local and convenient pick up spot. What will be in the box varies according to what is in season. Once a week, for about 26 weeks, we pick up a box of produce at a central location in our town (Port Washington). We signed up for the CSA at the Golden Earthworm, which is an organic farm located out east in Long Island. If it's a good year on the farm, you'll get more produce. By doing this, you are also sharing in the risks that come with farming - poor weather, bugs, plant disease - anything that might cut back on the harvest will affect your share of it. What this means is that you support your local farms by buying a "share" of the produce for a season. CSA, in fact, stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Even when I'm explaining the concept to people, I sometimes forget what the acronym stands for.
If you don't know what "CSA" stands for, you're not alone.
