We are expecting to harvest: lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, radicchio, winter squash, dill, cilantro, swiss chard, kale, scallions, eggplant, radishes, basil, parsley, garlic, and more. We will also source a few items from our neighboring organic farmers at the Chester Agriculture Center (carrots, potatoes). You will also receive a newsletter with farm updates, recipes, and storage recommendations.

Scott & Joe Cheese Add-On - $90 / $15 per week

Enhance your CSA experience with a cheese add-on from Scott & Joe, Nyack’s beloved cheese shop! Each week, enjoy a carefully selected piece of cheese chosen by Scott to complement the fresh, local produce in your box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CSA?

Members purchase their “share” of Little Gem Farm. In return, they receive weekly harvests of vegetables and flowers in the peak season. Purchasing a share provides the farm with economic support early in the season when we face the majority of our expenses (seeds, soil, new to us van!). This also allows us to focus on growing the best products during the growing season, and delivering the freshest products to you every week.

Part of a CSA is sharing the risk and rewards of the season! We will do our very best to provide you with the most bountiful shares each week. The quantity and abundance may vary due to weather, pest pressure, or other production factors.

What kinds of vegetables will I receive?

Little Gem Farm focuses on growing high quality flavor-forward varieties. Each week, there will be some classic options (ex: kale, potatoes, head lettuce) along with more unique varieties (ex: fairytale eggplant, husk cherries, shiso, garlic leeks). There will be lots of herbs, 10+ varieties of tomatoes to try, and an abundance of greens. Some weeks, we will supplement our shares with farm products, seedlings, and produce grown by our neighboring farms at the Chester Agriculture Center.

• Our Summer Vegetable CSA may include: baby bok choy, little gem lettuce, spring onions, green garlic, tuscan kale, butter radish, patty pan squash, sungold tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, shishito peppers, Italian eggplant, swiss chard, garlic, and basil.
• Our Fall Vegetable CSA may include: butternut squash, broccolini, cauliflower, napa cabbage, carrots, beets, butter lettuce, scallions, edible flowers, sage and rosemary.

What kinds of flowers will I receive?

The Flower CSA will include a hand-picked and arranged bouquet of farm grown flowers. We are planting over 25 colorful varieties that will bloom throughout the season.

• A typical Summer Flower CSA may include: feverfew, snapdragons, nigella, lupine, gladiolus, zinnias, yarrow, delphinium, sweet peas and stock.

Where and when is the CSA pickup?

The CSA pickup will be in Nyack on Thursdays, 11:00AM - 6:00PM, at Scott & Joe, 4 S Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960.

What happens if I can't pick up my share this week?

You are welcome to send someone else to pick up your share in your place. There are no restrictions, and this can be done as many times as you’d like throughout the season.

Are you certified organic?

While not certified, everything is grown using organic growing practices.
