Three contributing vegetable farms harvest their best, most abundant produce and put together a bag of either 7-10 items for a "full share" or approximately 5 items for our new "half share" option.
The 607 CSA is a multi-farm CSA based in the Northern Catskills. We offer abundant and diverse veggie shares sourced from our four collaborating vegetable farms, plus season-long add-ons of pastured meat, eggs, dairy, and other items from 40+ neighboring farms and food businesses. In effect, we are a whole-diet CSA.
Each share purchased is an investment in our farm season and our farming community. In stark contrast to money spent at chain grocery stores, your share purchases do double-duty by kickstarting our farming season and, at the same time, contributing to our region's deep economy
As part of this work, the 607 CSA supports land access organizing, helping farmers gain access to the land and resources they need to feed our communities. We connect retiring farmers with aspiring farmers, collaborate with farmland conservation trusts, and develop new local strategies to secure fertile ground for agroecological agriculture, environmental stewardship, and food sovereignty.
Our land access work centers BIPOC voices and leadership. We focus on equity so that new farmers, BIPOC farmers, and farmers with less access to capital (i.e. no generational wealth) can have a chance at gaining stable land tenure. We do this to begin (to begin) to address the 100 years of self-recognized systemically racist USDA policy that has led to 98% of farmland in the US being owned by white people.
(If you have a question, you may find the answer HERE. And if you’re interested in organizing a new pick-up location, there is some info HERE. If you are a farmer or producer and you are interested in working with us, please fill out THIS FORM.)
@607CSA is a CAA Initiative. Catskills Agrarian Alliance models food sovereignty in our region by protecting and promoting the right of all people to healthy, culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, as well as by supporting our right to define our own food systems.
