Return to The Woods!!
Posted on April 9, 2022 by ryanlachica
YOU HEARD?? We back at The Woods!! Back at our Southside home but even better than just that we will be keeping up our Northside distribution as well with a satellite location at Dolly’s Swing and Dive
2022 we are experimenting with 2 locations. We will return to our roots in the backyard of the Woods with a satellite distribution site across the street from where we have been the past 2 years because of COVID closures. Info linked below!
2022 Distribution Locations: Members will choose one pickup location for entire season:
DOLLYS SWING & DIVE: 5-8pm at 101 Kent Ave/58 N8th
THE WOODS: 630-9pm in the backyard of 48 S4th
Get LOCA LOCAL on MONDAYS w/ SOUTHSIDE CSA. Every Monday evening from May thru November. Choose from a pick-up in either the SOUTHSIDE or NORTHSIDE of WILLIAMSBURG BROOKLYN. After 2 years of distributing at BIBA, Southside CSA returns to the backyard at The Woods. We will also be hosting a satellite distribution up in the Northside, across the street from BIBA in our new satellite at Dollys Swing & Dive.
THE WOODS – 48 S4th – Mondays from 630-9pm: Not only are we back in their most amazing backyard space we have extended the pickup time a smidge to 9pm.
DOLLYS SWING & DIVE – Mondays from 5-8pm: For 2 years we took refuge from COVID closures up at BIBA. Something new is happening in the space, but we will be distributing across the street from the garage & N8th Street Shed of Dolly’s Swing N’ Dive at 101 Kent Avenue. This is our first experiment in dual locations.

Distribution During a Pandemic
Posted on April 15, 2020 by ryanlachica
Southside CSA is entering our 12th year. To say that we have never organized a season quite like this before is an understatement. Uncertain times! The vegetables & fruits are coming. However, our homebase — the beautiful backyard of the Woods — is not open due to the COVID19 bar & restaurant closures. Until the Woods is open again we will be operating distribution at an alternate location where we can be socially distant & we will be offering a delivery service.
***COVID 19 DISTRIBUTION PLAN***
Until quarantine orders are lifted for bars & restaurants we will be doing a socially-distant distribution from the BIBA event hall located at N8th & Kent and offering a delivery service. We will return to the backyard at the Woods as soon as the law allows. If there is enough interest/participation we will keep the BIBA distribution open for the entire season, even after we resume distributions in the backyard at the Woods. We built a cargo bike so the CSA will offer a delivery service. We are still working on the pricing and will post that ASAP
***COVID 19 PLAN B DISTRIBUTION Until quarantine orders are lifted for bars & restaurants we will be doing a socially-distant distribution from the BIBA event hall located at N8th & Kent and offering a delivery service.

WEEK 1 (A) MAY 6
Posted on May 13, 2019 by ryanlachica
WAHOO! Week 1 and it’s a blast off! Thanks to everyone that has joined, from OG members that are celebrating 10 SEASONS!!! with us to the new members that are waiting to see what Southside CSA is all about! Welcome to the 2019 Harvest season!! THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING LOCAL FARMS & GRASSROOT GROCERIES!!
Every year we launch with a yummy blast of local asparagus! Our BERRY Share always kicks off with 4 weeks of local asparagus. This year we have added a stand -alone ASPARAGUS share for those who need more GRASS in their life! We also see the start of our EGG, WHOLE CHICKEN, FISH, MEAT, & BONE BROTH shares.
SO it was a cold cold week before our first distribution. This directly affected the asparagus harvest as asparagus plants start to produce new shoots when soil temperatures rise above 50 degrees. At optimum daytime temperatures, asparagus spears grow between 3 and 6 inches a day. Growth speed increases as the temperature rises. It had been so cold, rainy and overcast we had thought there would only be asparagus for the solo shares. HOWEVER, the sun came out Monday morning and the grass sprouted up so fast, the farmworkers were able to harvest enough for everyone to get a little taste.
GREIG FARM ASPARAGUS SHARE
- 1 bunch ASPARAGUS (abt 1/2 pound)
GREIG FARM BERRY SHARE
- 1 frozen bag of STRAWBERRIES
- 1 bunch ASPARAGUS (abt 1/2 pound)
YELLOW BELL FARM EGG SHARE
- 1 dozen farm fresh EGGS
YELLOW BELL FARM WHOLE CHICKEN Share
- 1 whole ROASTER
YELLOW BELL FARM BONE BROTH
