Prospect Park CSA

Bringing local, farm-fresh organic produce to Crown Heights & Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an alternative economic model of agriculture and food distribution in which neighbors join together to support a local farm by purchasing “shares” of the season’s harvest.

Who We Are

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

The CSA is 100% volunteer-run. Every member pitches in by committing to one or two short work shifts per season. A core group of volunteer organizers manage registration, communication, logistics, and events.

What We Do

Each spring, PPkCSA base membership fees include a weekly full-share or bi-weekly half-share of farm-fresh vegetable harvest. Members also have the option to sign up for fruit, egg, maple, meat, and grain shares.

CSA members are investors in the risks and rewards of sustainable food production. The collective, up-front payment provides the Windflower Farm team resources to jump start the growing season, and it makes

Throughout the 22-week season (June through 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.

Windflower Farm Visit

The open house takes place in late August or early September. It begins midday Saturday with a tour of Windflower Farm and a wine, beer and cheese hour featuring local live music and home brews. Go for a tractor ride and see the greenhouses, ducks, chickens, sheep, and flower fields. Share a potluck supper with CSA members from all over New York City, Farmers Ted and Jan Blomgren, their son Nate, and farm staff. After supper, gather around the campfire for music and s’mores. All members are welcome to bring a tent and camp on the farm (most do) and take in the star-filled sky. (There are also nearby motels and B&Bs.)

On Sunday morning, the Blomgren family serves a generous farm breakfast, after which guests often choose swim in the Battenkill River, tour Victory View Winery, attend the Washington County Fair, check out a local cheese tour or the Cambridge Farmers’ Market, visit the free-range chickens that provide our eggs at Davis Family Farms, tour the Borden Dairy Farm, go to the horse races at the historic track in Saratoga, check out the Argyl Brewery store, or head up to the Battenkill Creamery for an ice cream sundae.
