Farms Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) To Grow With
HANNYS Mini-Grant
Future
Farm, Chemung County, NY. The mission of Future Farm, a non-profit
organization, is to develop community-based, environmentally
sound, economically viable methods for improving food security
to rural and village low-income constituencies in the Southern
Tier of New York. The CSA project focuses on the needs of
low-income New Yorkers by growing appropriate vegetables,
making them affordable, and establishing a working relationship
between the farm and the communities served. Mini-Grant funds
have been used to build cold frames that will increase the
farm’s capacity for growing affordable food in the winter;
and to outreach to the Tompkins County Living Wage Coalition's
low income members, building their connection to the organization.
