Community-supported agriculture (CSA) can be a wonderful resource, providing farmers with steady income and consumers with locally-produced food. One of the few drawbacks, however, is that they often cost a hefty upfront sum. Many CSAs cost $300-500 for a single season. Spread out over several months, it’s not much to pay for the privilege of local produce delivered on a regular schedule, but it’s not a socioeconomically inclusive model. To help alleviate this issue, Bushwick-based community organization RiseBoro Community Partnership will launch a new CSA program this July with a payment structure better suited to lower-income residents.
