FROM THE FARM<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>ers can access foods straight from the farm in two<br />

ways: farmers' markets and community supported agriculture<br />

programs or CSAs. CSA members purchase "shares" in an<br />

entire season of high quality, fresh produce grown by local<br />

farmers. Members usually pay for their shares in advance, but<br />

some CSAs adjust payment to income, accept food stamp<br />

benefits, and allow some members to pay week to week.<br />

Find the sources of fresh, local foods near you below!<br />

FARMERS' MARKETS<br />

Unless noted, farmers' markets accept<br />

EBT/food stamps as well as WIC and<br />

senior FMNP checks.<br />
