Your Share of This Year's Harvest

We envision a community engaged in a vibrant, sustainable food system reinforced by a network of thriving farmers.  That's a big idea, right?! And how do we get there? It starts with you - our community. If you love fresh, nutrient-dense, local food and care about the ability to have access to it for many years to come, you've come to the right place. We just so happen to know some farmers providing Farm Shares.A “Farm Share” is a simple idea. You can buy your "share" of a farmer’s harvest at the beginning of the growing season and it's available each week for pickup.  Many Farm Share programs are called CSAs: Community Supported Agriculture.  We love the idea of you - our community - supporting our local farmers by buying your own share of the harvest. 

Farmer James' Neighborhood Produce Share

Raleigh City Farm's principal farmer is James Edwards. This season, he is providing a weekly basket of produce grown using organic practices in the heart of downtown Raleigh for you to enjoy. Each basket includes a mix of fresh, seasonal produce along with recipe recommendations and preparation techniques for some of the produce varieties. You'll learn new vegetables varieties, taste greater flavors, and benefit from the vitamins and organic qualities. "My hope is the produce share gives individuals and families in Raleigh a way to live more locally, taste greater flavors, and eat healthier," James says.
