Who We Are
Founded in 2011, the Prospect Park CSA partners with Windflower Farm to deliver and distribute fresh produce to CSA members.

Throughout the 22-week season – usually beginning late May or early June through late October or early November, members receive their weekly share of the farm’s harvest, delivered each Thursday to our neighborhood distribution site, Murder of Crows Fitness, 1010 Dean Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
