Join the Parkchester CSA! 

Thanks to all who were able to come to our Meet the Farmer Day on April 18.  It was great to see Sue Rogowski - sister of Cheryl - and hear about what is happening on the farm. It was interesting to learn how our farmer is going ‘beyond organic’ — not only is the farm pesticide-free, GMO-free and chemical-free, but the Rogowskis are not using the loopholes contained in the US Department of Agriculture regulations around ‘certified organic’.

Our season begins with the first distribution day on June 27, and will go for 20 weeks.  The cost of a full share of Rogowski vegetables each week is $405 ($20/week). An egg share is $72.50 for a dozen, $36.25 for a half-dozen. That’s just $3.62/dozen!

We'd love to have you join us for another wonderful season of food delivered to Parkchester fresh from the farm. Full payment is due by June 10. Our application form has all the details.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Email us at parkchestercsa@gmail.com. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Look forward to seeing you in June!
