CSA Farm As an expression of our reverence for
creation,
the Mission of Sisters Hill Farm
is to grow healthy food, which nurtures bodies,
spirits, communities, and
the
earth.
Sisters Hill Farm is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of New York
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farming model in which community members pledge support to the farm at the beginning of the season. In return, they pick up a share of the harvest every week. In this way, the growers and members provide mutual support in their food production, thereby creating a true community farm.
Both partners share in the risks and rewards of small-scale farming: weather, insect damage, and fantastic tasting veggies. CSA restores the lost connection between people and agriculture by providing an opportunity for members to be directly connected to how their food is grown. It's about more than just vegetables!

Farm Membership
As a farm member, in exchange for your support in the cost of the farm, you get a share of each week's harvest.
Share Details:
As our harvest varies throughout the season, your share will also change each week. On average, a share ranges from 4-15 lbs. of food per week. Our experience suggests that this provides enough veggies for an average size family, or two vegetarian adults.
Distribution Schedule and Sites:
Feel free to split your share with a friend!
Missing Your Pick Up:
One of the farm's main goals is to share a portion of the harvest with those in need. You can be certain your share will be put to good use.
