JOIN THE BED-STUY CSA CORE GROUP
Apply to be a member of the Bed-Stuy CSA Core Group!
Making the CSA volunteer-run allows the Bed-Stuy CSA to keep its overhead low and, therefore, the membership price low. While all members are required to volunteer 4 hours during the harvest season, Core Members volunteer a significant amount of time to make the entire program run smoothly and successfully. Core Members are each responsible for a specific area of work, like outreach, event planning, communications and managing the pick-up site. In return, Core Members are given a $150 discount on their share prices.
Why Join the Core Group?- learn new skills
- meet your neighbors
- get to know bed-stuy better
- save money on your "share" price
- contribute creative energy to a neighborhood project
- learn more about alternative food systems & farming
- make the CSA better & have fun!
