A Farm Share in Scarsdale

For those who miss the Scarsdale Farmer's Market, here's a great alternative. Scarsdale native Hilary Corsun is delivering fresh food from NYS farms to Scarsdale on alternate Tuesdays throughout the fall. Corsun, a 2006 graduate of the Cornell University School of Agriculture and Life Sciences runs Good Food Farmers Network that brings vegetables, salad greens, herbs, chicken, eggs, beef and even flowers from upstate farms directly to Scarsdale. You can buy a share and receive deliveries from now until Thanksgiving.

After travelling to Africa to learn about microfinance, working for a non-profit that educates farmers and farming herself, Corsun is seeking to fill gaps in the regional food system and make local agriculture more financially viable. She is aiding farmers with marketing and delivery and is now making their produce available to you.

She currently has 45 members of the network in Scarsdale who either pick-up their shares at Hitchcock or receive home delivery. You can choose to receive salad greens, vegetables, pea shoots, herbs, eggs and also opt for pasture raised beef and organic chicken. All the produce is pesticide free. This week's delivery includes the last tomatoes of the season, turnips, kale, peppers and arugula as well as triple-washed salad mix from Little Seed Garden. Depending on your selection, the cost is about $150 per season for fresh organic produce delivered direct to Scarsdale.
