Local residents are guaranteed fresh organic produce by purchasing shares in farmers' harvests at the start of the growing season thereby ensuring their farms are adequately capitalized. This arrangement allows our local farmers to concentrate on growing and harvesting quality crops without the additional burden of marketing, an exhausting proposition for their generally small operations.

     For six years the Sixth Street Community Center CSA has provided its members with the freshest and best tasting produce available from our local farms. Since 1996 over 200 different varieties of vegetables and herbs are provided every season- May to November- from Catalpa Ridge Farm, our partner organic farm located in rural Sussex County, New Jersey.

     This year our CSA expanded its offering to include a wide variety of fruits from Hepworth Farm, located on the banks of the Hudson River in Milton, New York. Our CSA also joined with Prime Select Seafoods, a fishery in Cordova, Alaska to become the first CSA in the country to offer wild Alaskan salmon, halibut, cod and rockfish to its members. In a state where industrial fish farming is prohibited, Alaska's fisheries- in particular its salmon runs- are rated among the healthiest and best managed in the world.
