About the new farm share taking place on the roof of the Swiss Institute on 2nd Avenue

There are several quality CSAs to choose from in the neighborhood. Here is a new one to consider, courtesy of WYRM Farm, which takes place on Sundays from June 29 to October 5, located atop the Swiss Institute on Second Avenue at St. Mark's Place. 

1 P.M. to 3 P.M. 

Wyrm Farm's CSA offers 15 weeks of locally grown, organic produce, distributed from the rooftop of the Swiss Institute in New York, New York. Each week's share includes a selection of leafy greens, fruiting vegetables, alliums, and root vegetables, enough produce to feed two or more people. 
Our produce is harvested within a day or two of delivery, ensuring peak freshness and flavor. Members receive better vegetables at wholesale prices and develop relationships with their neighbors and farmers. 

Wyrm CSA membership includes: 
-15 weeks of our produce for 2+ people 
-A subscription to Wyrm Magazine 
-Recipe cards and other printed materials

Each Wyrm CSA share is $650, or $43/week, and feeds 2+ people.

      6th Street Community Center on 6th between B & C is one. They have a sliding scale and pickup is Tuesdays late afternoon to evening.

      LUNGS also has one, last year it was a Friday pickup and at De Colores on 8th between B & C.

      I think one of the farms that comes to Tompkins Square Green market on Sundays also does one. Maybe Norwich Farms?

    Wish I'd heard about it before the $100 discount expired. As I live 1 block away from Swiss Inst., I'm gonna give it a try.
    There was one out of St Mark's church (Norwich Farms). I did it for one season & dropped it due to weird produce (I hate purple carrots, garlic cloves molding), tiny portion allotments and a general feeling that the farmer's markets (Norwich is at both Tompkins Sq. & Union Sq.) and locavore restaurants got the good stuff first.
    Google CSAs in Manhattan for others.

      Unfortunately, only learned about this after that deadline passed...
