How do I contact Downtown Harvest?
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a group of people who join together to help financially support a small-scale, local farmer in exchange for nutritious and fresh, organic produce. Not only do they help grow a farmer's crops by financial means, but they also aspire to grow their relationship with the farmer by understanding ecologically sound methods of farming and their challenges, and by growing new friendships.
Downtown Harvest CSA is an initiative begun in 2004 by members of OLC Church (Jersey City, NJ) who want to enjoy fresh, organic produce, grow a more direct relationship with our community and the earth, and foster sustainable agriculture. We hope that people expressing a desire for membership of this CSA share our values and appreciate this spiritual connection with all heavenly bodies - including our own!
Downtown Harvest has chosen John Krueger of Starbrite Farm as our farmer for the 2007 season. John was our farmer in 2006, and we are delighted to continue our relationship.
