More Information About EOW Shares
The Park Slope CSA cannot guarantee which week (odd or even) EOW members will be assigned to. EOW veggie members can only select EOW fruit or flower shares, all delivered on the same week. EOW members work 1 shift (2.5 hours) during the season. If you miss your scheduled EOW pick up you cannot come the following week.

Discounted Shares and Food Stamps
Members with food stamps will use $11/week for veggies and $6/week for fruit. Please contact our Share-a-Share Coordinator for more information on a discount and payment plan that works for both you and the CSA. The CSA accepts EBT payments. The number is 718-707-1023.

Workshift Requirements

All members are required to sign up for, and work their respective shifts. Full Share members work 5 hours in two shifts and EOW Share members work 2.5 hours in one shift. Workshift hours for Tuesday begin at 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for the early slot and 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. for the late slot. Thursday work hours begin at 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. followed by 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Members work with a Site Coordinator to help unload the truck, set up tents and tables, re-stock produce, check in members and help to clean up and put things away. Distributions take place rain or shine (even during a blackout if the produce has been delivered!). Remember produce comes from our farms so please dress accordingly, bins can be wet and covered in soil.

Workshifts are at the distribution site in the Garden of Union. You cannot cancel at the last minute. Ask a family member, nanny, friend, or a neighbor to fulfill your obligation. This also works if you will miss your pick up. If your availability changes after signing up for shifts, it is your responsibility to change your shifts on the calendar.

Park Slope CSA is full for the 2011 season.

For under $22 a week, you get fresh, organic produce straight from the farm from mid-June to mid-November.
