Lexington Ave CSA is a completely volunteer run distribution site for Stoneledge Farm. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way for people to buy vegetables directly from a local farmer. During the winter members pre-pay our farmer Stoneledge Farm directly to defray operating expenses and in return get 22 weeks of fresh, locally-grown, organic vegetables. During the harvest members take turns volunteering their times covering the weekly distributions at the Church of the Advent Hope on East 87th Street between Park/Lexington Avenues who donates the space. 2023 marks our 9th season as the Lexington Avenue CSA, and at this location. Originally formed in 2009 at the 92nd Street Y. We spent 5 great years there and then moved locations and changed our name. Same great group, same great farm!
We are a non-profit volunteer member of Just Food and not affiliated with any other organizations. We are a group of people committed to bring farm fresh produce to a central location on the Upper East Side. The sole purpose of this website is share information with members about the farm and weekly distributions. Please note we are not a business nor do we derive any income from coordinating the weekly pick-ups.
The 2023 season runs from June 5, 2023 through October 30, 2023. Due to COVID-19 Pandemic the farm will continue boxing all individual shares this season to ensure our members health and safety.

A few years ago Just Food partnered with Greenpoint-Williamsburg CSA to create a "Welcome to our CSA" video. This video shows what a typical CSA pick up looks like. Use this link to access the video: http://justfood.org/csa/csa-resource-center
