Joining a local CSA program has so many benefits not only for the farm you are purchasing from but, for the community and for yourself and your family. Garden of Eve is a local organic farm located in Riverhead that was founded in 2001 by environmental advocates Chris and Eve Kaplan-Walbrecht. โThe Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program at Garden of Eve Organic Farms allows you to purchase advanced shares of fresh fruits and vegetables from each seasonโs harvest. A great way to eat healthier, avoid toxic chemicals, and support a local farm you can visit.โ

When you sign up for the Summer/ Fall CSA it includes 24 weeks starting in June that includes 7-9 items per week, which is enough vegetables for two large vegetarian meals per week, for a family โ or sides for the whole week.
- you will see there are different options for the CSA share, as well on their site. You can do a weekly or bi-weekly share. You can even put a โholdโ on a week you might not be home and then reschedule when you will pick up or get your CSA share delivered to your home (if you are in Suffolk County).
Your CSA can just be a Vegetable Share or you can add a fruit share, an egg share or flower share.

*Great news for those who live in Suffolk County, NY โ your CSA will be delivered to your home on a specific day within a time slot weekly or bi-weekly*
Here is an โunboxing video of a shareโ by Eve of a CSA share from last June 2023:
