 FAQs

  • YES! If you plan to pay using EBT / SNAP benefits, please select Middle Income option and the “pay off-line” option, indicating that you will be using benefits to pay for your share. You can find detailed steps here.

    You will sign a non-binding agreement committing to a full season with us and we will charge your benefit card $16 at weekly distribution ($9 for half shares).

    Your price will be subsidized by Glynwood’s CSA is a SNAP program which is funded through Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GuSNIP). GuSNIP grants run out with the farm bill on August 31, 2024. Hopefully the farm bill gets hammered out before then and these grants get continued. If not, we’ll still do everything we can to honor our commitment to providing membership to our neighbors paying with SNAP.

  • The GrownBy platform, where you will purchase your share, accepts all methods of card payment (via Stripe).

    There is also an option to pay offline via check, cash, or with SNAP/EBT.

  • The sliding scale is itself a tool for economic justice, and by engaging with it and reflecting on your own economic privilege you are partnering with us on an individual and local scale to work towards economic justice in Northern Manhattan. Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, we ask you to recognize that as a choice when reviewing the tiers. If you are still uncertain after reviewing the guidance above, please email us at info@fincaseremos.org

  • Because we buy in add-ons (eggs, this year) from other farmers, we aren’t able to offer the same flexibility in pricing. As much as possible, we aim to work with farms in the future that also accept SNAP/EBT benefits so that we can provide opportunities for lower price points to members who need them.

    Our half shares have fewer options on the scale to reduce administrative labor on our end, which means we can spend more time growing your food!

  • When you decide to become a member of the Seremos CSA, you’re making a commitment to us for the season by providing funds up front. It makes our work more sustainable and takes out some of the risk. We understand and appreciate that trust in our project to bring better food to our uptown community.

    Because we really count on this commitment, there are no refunds, full or partial. You may find someone to transfer your membership to, but payment and coordination would be your responsibility.

    If something unexpected happens, reach out to us, and we’ll help if we can.

  • You can click here to see a visual calendar of what we plan to bring to CSA distributions each week this season. We have to work with the land, the weather, and any pests or disease that may show up this season, so this list is not a guarantee!

  • Let us know! We encourage you to send a family member or friend.

    If you can’t coordinate someone coming in your place, e-mail us at info@fincaseremos.org by close of business Tuesday (6:30PM) and we can work with you to credit you for that week’s drop-off. You can apply your credit to an add-on if you don’t already have one, to a seasonal product, or to next season’s CSA.

    If you don’ t pick up your share in the designated window, we’ll make sure it doesn’t go to waste by donating it to a local community fridge or one of our community partners.

  • Please share your feedback with us at pick-up or by email at info@fincaseremos.org so we can improve for future weeks and years. In general, you’re likely to feel you don’t have quite enough produce from us in May and June. Then you’ll probably start to feel like it’s a bit too much from August onward!
