Sang Lee Farms
Sang Lee Farms is a NOFA- NY
Certified Organic Farm, our produce is ~ Fresh Lee Cut ~

Sang Lee Farms is a second generation family farm originally
growing produce for the Asian markets in New York and along the east
coast.
Over the last
fifteen years the farm has shifted its focus to retail, farmers' markets
and community supported agriculture. In doing so it has added many new
specialty vegetable and herb products, including heirloom tomatoes,
multicolored carrots, asparagus, potatoes and garlic.
To compliment all this wonderful produce
the farm has developed its own full line of prepared foods. Dressings,
dips, pestos, pickled products, jellies, and cooking sauces are now available, and are featured
whenever Sang Lee Farms hosts special events and tastings.
What is a CSA?CSA,
short for Community Supported Agriculture, is an arrangement
between members of a community and our farm. It is a pre-paid share of
fresh, organically grown vegetables that we will harvest for 26 weekly
pickups.
CSA memberships are important because they help support our
farm with revenues early in the season for seed purchases,
fertilizer and other season startup costs. It is a way
for the community to eat great food, and help preserve open space with
our working farm. It allows you to personally know who grows your
food. By purchasing your vegetables locally, you help farmland remain
in vegetable production and at the same time reduce your
individual carbon foot print by having less vegetables trucked in from
distant areas. CSA Members benefit by having simply the best,
and freshest organically grown and local vegetables available.
What will I get? For
the 26 week duration of the membership, we will harvest a 1/2 to 1 Bu.
box of Organically Grown, and local fresh vegetables. There will be
approximately (8 - 10) items in the carton. A week's
CSA box may have
individual heads of Boston, Butterhead Lettuce, bunched carrots, beets,
baby Bok Choy, summer squash, asparagus, (when in season), and other
seasonal vegetables from sugar snap peas to waxed beans or Heirloom
tomatoes. Because individual consumption is so varied, it may be
adequate to meet the vegetable needs of (2 to 4) people for the week.
The partial share will contain less items and less quantity than the
standard share and have an approximate retail value of half the
standard
CSA box.
