New Roots for Refugees Farm Share

New Roots for Refugees Farm Share is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program that provides subscribers with 5-7 locally-grown, seasonal vegetables and herbs each week (AKA a “share”). Shares can be picked up at one of our pick-up sites around the greater Kansas City area. New Roots aggregates produce from farmers currently in our 4-year program, as well as graduates from the program. Payment is made in advance or in installments and helps provide capital for things such as seeds and tools for farmers to use in preparation for the growing season. Our farmers are experienced growers who are learning to farm in a new climate while also learning a new language and food culture. By buying a Farm Share, you are supporting the training and establishment of multiple farmers in the Kansas City area and directly helping grow the number of urban farmers!

New Roots for Refugees Farm Share, in its own listing

How a CSA share works.

A CSA share is paid up front for a season of regular boxes, usually weekly. You share the farm's good years and its bad ones. Before you buy, ask what a typical week holds, where and when pickup is, whether delivery is offered, and how the farm handles a lost crop. Farms that grow organically or naturally say so on the listing.

Worth asking before you go:

• What is in a typical box in June, and in September?
• Where is pickup, and what if I miss a week?
• Is there a half share, a work share, or a payment plan?
