Additional CSA Shares Available at Hilltop Hanover Farm

From Hilltop Hanover Farm:  in Yorktown Heights is opening up additional CSA shares at a prorated cost of $400 for 13-weeks. For all of you who were late in signing up and missed out – don’t miss out now, only 15 slots left.

You’ll be just in time for summer’s wonderful harvest. The CSA distribution is "Farm stand style." The farm provides two reusable produce bags to all CSA members.

At CSA distribution, members will fill their bags with the produce they pick out. Most of the time, members will choose an assigned amount of a particular crop (i.e. “take 8 to 10 carrots,” or “2 heads of lettuce”), but will have a choice between varieties of that crop (i.e. purple vs. orange carrots, or red vs. green lettuce). Other times, members will have a choice between a range of crops (i.e. “choose 1 bunch of leafy greens: either chard OR kale OR broccoli ” or “choose 6 beets OR6 turnips”).

This “Farm stand style” selection process allows CSA members to have a bit more choice of produce, while at the same time allowing the farmer to plan for a steady supply of crops.

A typical share planned for early July may include items such as a bunch of carrots, leeks, fennel bulbs, leafy greens, cucumbers, summer squash, tomatoes, basil, and other seasonal herbs. A late September share may include items such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli raab, eggplants, peppers, onions, radishes, and beets.
