To become a member of the Carnegie Hill CSA, you must purchase a base share of vegetables from Stoneledge Farm.
How Our CSA Works
Pick up your share at the Church of the Heavenly Rest located at Fifth Ave and E 90th St.
Bring a large tote bag or a shopping cart to take your veggies home.
Upon arriving, sign in and take your vegetable share box along with any optional shares and marketplace items.
Your vegetable share will arrive in a box, which is packed right on the farm to minimize handling of the vegetables.
All members are required to volunteer for one 2-hour shift during the 22 week season. During distribution we need help setting up tables, unloading the truck, signing in members, keeping the site clean, maintaining and closing down the site.
If you are concerned about volunteering at the site, no problem. You would still be able to help us out with clerical work from home.
All produce remaining at the end of pickup is donated to Community Fridge 120 and Kingsbridge Heights Community Center, two mutual aid initiatives that help combat the health food disparity in Harlem and in the Bronx.
We will follow the latest CDC guidelines at the pickup site to help keep our members, volunteers, and neighbors safe. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation!

Every week you have the opportunity to add Stoneledge’s own honey, bulk vegetables, maple syrup from a neighboring farm, plus seed oils and more from the Stoneledge Farm Marketplace. These items, ordered online, are delivered every week along with your share.
Local sweet corn is available from the @stoneledge.farm marketplace! This corn is grown by @storyfarmscatskill and is an absolutely unmistakable sign of summer according to @annlevinnyc. Thanks to @stanhonda for these scrumptious photos! Order by NOON on Friday for delivery on Tuesday along with your share.
Poaching is my favorite way to preserve peaches. Whether you poach in water with sugar, or white wine and aromatics, it’s so great to take a jar of peaches from the freezer (or cupboard if you can them!) and enjoy the fruits of summer. @stoneledge.farm @kleinskillfruitfarms
The contents of my fruit may have shifted during flight aka my walk home from @heavenlyrestnyc 😆 did you know you can buy local berries, cherries, peaches, and more in bulk from @stoneledge.farm’s online marketplace? Order by 12pm Friday to receive with your share next week. Log in to your member account to place your order.
I love a glass of cold brew on a hot summer day! Organic fair trade coffee is available from the @stoneledge.farm store. It is grown on small family coffee farms, and the beans are roasted locally before delivery. Try a bag and you’ll see why the coffee share is so popular! Members, log in to your account and click Marketplace.
Tomato season = tomato sandwich season. It’s the first thing I made after I brought home my share on Tuesday. Sliced @stoneledge.farm tomatoes on top of sourdough from @see_and_be_kitchen (we’re all about that bread share!) spread with @ronnybrookfarm butter – which members can now order from our new add-ons partner Pleasant Valley Farm @pvfproduce. Check out their selection of small farm foods including dairy, eggs, meat, pantry staples, and so much more! Order by midnight Sunday for delivery to our CSA this Tuesday! See your email for first-time order instructions.
