More Information about Farming Practices CSA - Some farms offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) option. Consumers can purchase a share of the farm’s harvest at the beginning of the growing season and then pick up a box of freshly harvested produce each week throughout the season.
Certified Organic - Certified organic farms have met USDA standards for organic food production as verified by an accredited agency such as the Northeast Organic Farming Association of NY (NOFA-NY). Other farms may also follow organic farming practices, but have not undergone the certification process.

More Information about Farming Practices CSA - Some farms offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) option. Consumers can purchase a share of the farm’s harvest at the beginning of the growing season and then pick up a box of freshly harvested produce each week throughout the season.
Certified Organic - Certified organic farms have met USDA standards for organic food production as verified by an accredited agency such as the Northeast Organic Farming Association of NY (NOFA-NY). Other farms may also follow organic farming practices, but have not undergone the certification process.
