Veggie What?
This is our version of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), but we think Veggie Box sounds cuter. When you join a CSA, you enter into a direct partnership with a local farm. Members buy a share of the farm’s harvest at the beginning of the season to contribute to the costs of seeds, tools, and other inputs. As members, you will be rewarded with delicious, fresh, and hyper-local produce and a strong sense of community.
Support Schoolyard Farms
You are also helping us create a space for our programming so we are better equipped to educate and facilitate youth empowerment and experiential learning through Good Food. Our farms are a place for youth to connect with food. From planting a seed to cooking a meal, we catalyze learning that students carry forward to make healthy food choices, become strong community leaders, and advocate for a more just and sustainable food system.
