The Stoneledge CSA Recipe Project is a collaboration among all members of this CSA. The goal is to  create a knowledge base for all to learn how to make the most out of their share. Information on how to care for and cook every vegetable Stoneledge Farm grows is shared here.

What is Community Supported Agriculture?

The three letter abbreviation “CSA” stands for “Community Supported Agriculture” and it refers to a type of farm share program run by a local farm or community of farmers. The traditional CSA program model functions by having members of the local community invest in the farm’s harvest in advance or crop production. Then, over the course of the growing season, the CSA member receives their “share” of the harvest in the form of regular boxes (or bags or baskets) of produce. These shares are delivered to a pickup location once a week.

Stoneledge Farm delivers to 20 locations — the New York City area, Westchester and Connecticut.

Stoneledge Farm is a 300 acre, certified organic farm located in the foothills of the Northern Catskills, Greene County, New York. The original farmstead and greenhouses are located on 50 acres of mostly wooded land supported by a stone ledge running just below the soil surface. The farm fields and main barns are located nearby on prime agricultural land adjacent to the Catskill Creek.

Stoneledge Farm has been a Community Supported Agriculture, CSA farm since 1996. Their family worked to build the farm and the farm grew with the support of the CSA membership.  2020 Celebrating 25 years!
