CSA at Café Chismosa (4th & Poplar) starting Mon, May 26
Philly Foodworks has grown out of a citywide demand for a community food system.
This system encompasses farmers, chefs, artisans, entrepreneurs, activists, educators and customers who desire good food. Philly Foodworks is taking local and compassionate food out of a niche market and bringing it to everyone.
We run a CSA (farm share program in which customers receive weekly deliveries of produce) and local food distribution system that helps producers secure and build their business, while increasing access of their products to all Philadelphians. CSA members can customize their shares to the degree they desire and are reimbursed when they can not pick up their share. They can also receive their boxes at home through Wash Cycle Laundry’s bicycle delivery system.
Length: May 26th-October 23rd (22 weeks)
Cost:
Your Choice: $395 (six items, choose everything)
Mixed Choice: $395 (six items, you choose some things, farmer chooses some things)
Farmers Choice: $625 (10 items, farmer chooses)
Products available besides vegetables: meat, dairy, fruit, bread, jam, honey, hummus, beef jerky, soup, condiments, desserts and much more coming! Click here to see a list of our producers and partners.
Location: Cafe Chismosa, 900 N. 4th Street
Food Access
Using the same infrastructure, we’ve partnered with the Urban Tree Connection to establish a community buying club system. This will bring the same high quality food accessible through our CSA to four low-income neighborhoods at below market rate.
