Bell & Walhalla Farm CSA

Community Supported Agriculture helps keep small farms thriving. Small farms are better for our environment and make for a healthier and more diverse food system. Bell Farm and Walhalla Farm have partnered to bring the amazing food diversity of upstate New York’s richest agricultural valley in Schoharie County to CSA share members in NYC. We’re thrilled to welcome our NYC neighbors to become a part of our farming community. Our seasonal shares run for 18 weeks from June-October.
By paying at the beginning of the season, CSA members share in the risk of production. This allows the farmer to concentrate on good land stewardship and growing high quality food. We do not provide monetary refunds, but if something happens to your share i.e. it’s lost in delivery, we will do our best to replace it.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a model whereby consumers buy shares of a farm’s harvest in advance. Consumers become CSA members by paying an agreed upon amount at the beginning of the growing season.
This upfront payment helps buy the seed and other inputs needed for the season and provides the farmer an immediate income to begin the season. By paying at the beginning of the season, CSA members share in the risk of production and relieve the farmer of much of the time needed for marketing. This allows the farmer to concentrate on good land stewardship and growing high quality food.
In return for their membership fee, members eat healthy, sustainably produced food and have the satisfaction of knowing where it came from and how it was grown.

Vegetable Shares are available for 18 weeks from June-October. Members can expect a variety of in-season vegetables, 6-10 items per box depending on your share size.
For shipping: vegetables are delivered in a box, using sustainable materials to keep them cool and fresh.
For pickup: Please, bring a tote bag to collect your share. We will have CSA totes for sale at pick-up.

We’re working people and we know our members are as well. So we’re excited to offer payment plans and home delivery to our CSA members. We’re striving to make it as easy as possible to get our fresh produce and proteins to you.
Members can make installment payments for any of our shares and Add-Ons through Clearpay at checkout.

Currently, there are three ways to get your shares:
You can pick up your share at Walhalla Farm in Middleburgh, NY
Weds 5pm-7pm 35 Kermit Place Brooklyn, NY 12122
If you’re in NYC, or Hudson Valley, we will ship your share directly to your residence or to a friend, if your share is a gift.
Shipping fee's will vary based on the weight of your box. Typically, it ranges from $7-$15, but we won’t charge you until we ship your share.

Our CSA members play a huge role in keeping our farm thriving. We couldn’t do our work without you. Bell & Walhalla Farm want to pay it forward to future generations through our Farm 2 School partnership with PS130.
At checkout, you can choose to donate 5% of your share’s revenue to PS130’s Parkside Farm to School Team.
If you’re interested in your school being a part of a Farm to School program, please reach out via email.

When you miss a pick-up, we will donate your share to a daycare in Windsor Terrace that cooks daily for the kids.
Access to healthy food is a basic human need. We’re happy to begin our second year bringing fresh food to kids.
