Eat Fresh. Eat Affordable. Eat Healthy.

Sign up by May 1, 2025, to join RISE Farm Share, the only mixed-income, community-supported agriculture (CSA) serving the Rockaway peninsula. Distribution takes place every Wednesday, from June 4  to November 12, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at RISE, 58-03 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Far Rockaway, NY 11692.

What is RISE Farm Share?
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 an organic, regenerative, third-generation family farm and delivers produce directly to our door each week for you.

Farm Share is a commitment for the entire season!
