Eat Fresh. Eat Affordable. Eat Healthy.
Sign up by May 1, 2024, to join the RISE Farm Share; the only mixed-income, community-supported agriculture (CSA) serving the Rockaway peninsula. Distribution takes place every Wednesday, from June 5 to November 13, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at RISE, 58-03 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Far Rockaway, NY 11692.
What is it?
RISE Farm Share is a 24-week membership subscription to a "share" of locally grown vegetables. Members sign up ahead of time to receive fresh produce every Wednesday. Our farmer, Sang Lee Farms, is family-owned and operated and certified organic and delivers produce directly to our door each week for Rockaway residents.
Share options are full season commitments (June to November).

Do I qualify for Affordable Share?
RISE believes that everyone should be able to access fresh, nutritious food.
- Solidarity Share includes the additional cost of helping members who cannot afford the full price.
- Standard Share is the same price we pay the farmer.
- Affordable Share is a 50 percent reduced price for low-income residents who are eligible for SNAP.
$15 per week must be paid for using SNAP benefits at pickup.
*$40 advance deposit is required to reserve Affordable Share.
What about options for fresh, locally grown fruit?
We offer a fruit share through Briermere Farms. For $180, you will get either one pint or one bag of berries, peaches, apples, and/or pears for eighteen weeks.
Registration for Farm Share 2024 is CLOSED. Thank you.
