It's our 4th year bringing local family-farmed produce to Amsterdam, NY.
Join us and get your weekly box of family-farmed organic produce.
There is nothing more satisfying than knowing who grows your food, where it comes from, and how it was grown. Veggies don’t get any fresher unless you grow them yourself.
What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture - Is a partnership between a community and a farm. The farmer gets a guaranteed income and market for their produce. The farmer calculates what they need to grow food for us, which is more efficient than planting extra that may not sell at a farmers market.
How does it work? You buy a "share" in a farm for a season. A typical vegetable share provides enough for a household of two adults. The shares will be smaller in the beginning; as the season progresses there will be more in the box.
The season runs 20 weeks from June to October The pick-up location will be the 78 Wall St community garden on Wednesday from 4-6 pm.
To improve the community's quality of life through programs that empower residents to transform neighborhoods and to create a clean and healthy environment.
What a YEAR...
Grow Amsterdam grew in 2024!
The Kimball Garden for seniors was a welcomed by the community and was a crowning achievement. Our spring activities started with the Earth Day clean-up, celebrating Compost Awareness week and co-hosting the paper shredding event with the Amsterdam Free Library. Summer started with the Philia Farm CSA and Bernadette worked with the Summer Youth. Tom led a statewide workshop with DEC about putting together a Pumpkin Smash. In the Fall, people dropped off costumes at the library for the Costume Swap which was a success and we wrapped the season up with the 6th Annual Pumpkin Smash!
You made it happen! We are grateful for your support. We received from Target DC, Calvary Church, Walmart, Montgomery County Soil & Water, and individual volunteers. Thanks to the Boys Scout for choosing our community gardens for their Eagle Scout projects. The CTW Fund and Carondelet grants made our Summer Youth program. Funds from Target helped with the Costume Swap and Pumpkin Smash. Our vision of a community supported environment was in full effect with all of your contributions of time, talent and treasure.
Thank YOU for all your help in 2024 and we look forward to working with you to continue to serve the community in 2025.
