Lizzette Bonfante, membership coordinator of Parkchester CSA talks about the great opportunities the Bronx residences have when joining a Community Supported Agriculture group. The CSA member learns about W. Rogowski Farm, gets to eat fresh, local vegetables that are delivered to the Bronx straight from the farm. The CSA member has the chance to not only have this, but to also engage closer with the farm and farmer that grows their food. The middle men which is the supermarket no longer exists. Parkchester CSA is all about the relationship with the community, the food and the land that grows it.

If you are interested in being part of your community and eating fresh, local vegetables that are free from chemicals, GMOs and pesticides, join us this year. It is a good investment to your packet, to your health and to the environment/ecosystem.
