In 2011 more than 50 households from Skinker DeBaliviere and nearby neighborhoods participated in the new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program organized by Lee Farms and the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council.
From mid-June through mid-October (20 weeks) Lee Farms delivered fresh boxes of produce for residents to pick up from the SDCC office.
Each week participants looked forward to finding a variety of produce in their boxes including squash, zucchini, corn, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, popcorn, watermelon, eggs, carrots, lemon cucumbers, tomatoes, and much, much more. Lee Farms sent weekly newsletters that included delicious recipes, updates about activities on the farm, and information about the produce for that week. Lee Farms also hosted a farm tour for CSA participants and, on a few occasions, they delivered meat bundles to residents.
