Come on down to the Sisters of St. Joseph and support local agriculture at the 2024 Long Island CSA Fair! (Community Supported Agriculture)  Find the program that’s right for you!
Once again, iEat Green, along with Slow Food North Shore, NOFA-NY, and Deep Roots Farmers Market are organizing a CSA Fair for the Long Island Community.

The time to sign up for a share in a Community Supported Agricultural program is now! We are bringing all of the farmers together under one roof, so you can shop for the CSA Program that is right for you! This will be an indoor event!

Over 20 farms from across Long Island will be participating. This will be a great opportunity to meet the farmer, and to learn more about each individual CSA program. Some programs offer just produce, while others have “add on” options like fruit, flowers, cheese, bread, eggs, meat and fish. Community Supported Agriculture supports local farmers by purchasing a weekly share of the harvest and paying up front, giving the farmer the financial support at the beginning of the season when they need it. Some programs offer payment plans so you do not need to pay all up front. Either way, CSA’s are one of the best ways to get fresh organic produce at fair prices! We all know that eating more fruits and vegetables, and supporting local, sustainable agriculture, is great for your health, the planet, and our local economy.

The 2024 Long Island CSA Fair will be hosted indoors, at the Sisters of St. Joseph Farm, 1725 Brentwood Road, in Building #2, Brentwood, Long Island, from 11:00am – 3:00pm on Saturday, March 9th.  The fair is free and open to all who are interested. You can come for a few minutes, or stay for the whole time!

There will be cooking demonstrations throughout the day, and delicious vegan, vegetarian and gluten free foods will be available for purchase. Bring your knives to be sharpened, because the Unique Knife Sharpening Truck will be there!
