Invitation to farm events 
An invitation to come to the farm for family or personal recreation - walks, picnics, etc. 
A Sweet Land Farm bag for new members

Note: The only difference between the Single Adult Share and the Two Adult Share will be that the Single Adult Share receives a half a bag of vegetables every week. The itemized limits will be the same as the Two Adult Share ie. you will receive the same amount of tomatoes and garlic. The u-pick limits are the same as well as the invitation to farm events and access to the farm.  
Another Important note: The Single Adult Household Share is not a half share. It is not for two adults. If another adult is in your household and they 'do not eat vegetables' or have another source of vegetables this share is not for you. If you have two adults in your household I would hope you would purchase the two adult household share and help us cover the true cost of sustainable farming. We are in this together, the cost of the CSA share covers the expenses of the farm. That is how it is priced. We work hard to keep the share affordable and are committed to investing in soil fertility and paying our employees a living wage. We are happy to be involved in the Healthy Food For All program, which helps families who qualify receive financial assistance to purchase a CSA share. 

DISTRIBUTION: 

Shareholders come to the farm to pick up their share. PYO (pick your own) crops can be harvested anytime during the season any time between dawn and dusk, and as often as you wish. The Summer CSA season runs for 23 weeks (start date to be determined). Distributions will be held on the farm every Tuesday or Friday from 1-7p.m. Members may come to either distribution day, but only once per week. The distribution shed is also open from 8-noon on Saturdays for people who missed the main distribution, however we do not staff or restock the barn. Members may switch between distribution days as often as they wish – there is no need to let the farm know if you are coming Tuesday one week, and Friday the next. You will find the distribution barn and farm layout beautiful and easy to use.

Support HFFA 

We believe that healthy food should be available to everyone, regardless of income! 

The Healthy Food for All Program was founded as a partnership of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County and area farms, including Sweet Land Farm, the Full Plate Farm Collective, Ithaca Organics, Buried Treasures Farm, Westhaven Farm, and Kestrel Perch Berries.  The program provides subsidized CSA shares to low-income households in the Ithaca area.  HFFA is made possible by many local fundraising efforts, like Harvest Dinner ticket sales, other benefit events, and donations from individual CSA members--these shares are truly "community supported!"
