The West Harlem CSA provides an affordable alternative to standard grocery shopping.  We work  to provide healthier food choices for West Harlem residents where options are limited and many budgets are constrained.  

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs are found throughout New York City.  Through CSAs, people are able to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables directly from local farms; this eliminates the middle man and ensures that the money spent goes directly to the farmers which helps to support local jobs.   The West Harlem CSA differs from others in that our central aim is to foster a healthy food community where there aren’t many healthy options available, and where there are, they are unaffordable.  This involves the distribution of the freshest produce in West Harlem for people all income levels,  including those who cannot afford vegetables at any price.   We want to increase food security in the community while providing universal access to healthy food.
