Gosling Pond supports CSA. The Catskills have a rich history of Farming which is an essential part of our local economy. When you buy a Farm Share from a Local Farmer you help a Farmer stay in business and you get great value & great food from June - November!

The first crop is distributed in the third week of June.

OUR FARM SHARE IS WITH THE GORZYNSKI FARM, AN ESTABLISHED CERTIFIED ORGANIC farm in COCHETON.

Gorzynski Farm produces over 500 varieties of vegetables selected for exceptional flavor. They are certified 'organic' for over 20 years by alternating certifiers; NFA,NOFA,OCIA, and Greenmarket. We continue to adhere to real organic standards far exceeding our governments.

If you live in NYC you can find Gorzynski & Tonjes Farm products at The Union Square Park Farmers Market in NYC on Saturdays.

Over the last 20 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.

This arrangement creates several rewards for both
the farmer and the consumer.

Advantages for farmers:

Get to spend time marketing the food early in the year, before their 16 hour days in the field begin.
Receive payment early in the season, which helps
with the farm's cash flow.
Have an opportunity to get to know the people who
eat the food they grow.

Advantages for consumers:

Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits.
Get exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking.
Usually get to visit the farm at least once a season.
Find that kids typically favor food from "their" farm – even veggies they've never been known to eat.
Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown.
