Although it's pouring rain out right now, we plan to hold 2 CSA trainings/orientations tomorrow, Saturday May 20th! Rhona will guide you through running a distribution, and we will talk about how we can each volunteer a skill this year to help the CSA run more self-sufficiently. Even if you're not sure you're signing up, please join us!!

They are from 11-12:30, and 3-4:30, in Brook Park (corner of 141st and Brook Avenue). We will be meeting in the "140th St. side" of the park - but you will still have to enter from 141st.


Please bring/send anyone from your family! Great opportunity to plant vegetables and flowers with your friends, children, parents and grandparents. There are also going to be other fun events going on in the park starting in the afternoon.

Bring a drink or a dish to share!
