The Full Plate Farm Collective

Many Community Supported Agriculture systems (CSA) are set up so that one farm provides all of the produce for its membership.  The Full Plate Farm Collective CSA is a collective model, where multiple farms work together to provide produce for a common membership. This allows each of our farms to focus on a specific set of crops, rather than produce all the crops themselves--for example, one farm can focus on producing high-quality tomatoes while another focuses on high-quality carrots.  Our farms share resources, like equipment, storage space, and our website.  Our wonderful coordinator, Sara, oversees things like distribution logistics, membership and sign-ups, and our regular farmers' meetings.

No matter where you pick up your share or have it delivered, your produce comes from all of the farms in the collective. 

Stick and Stone Farm (directions)

PU Wednesdays 3-7pm

Three Swallows Farm (directions) 

PU Saturdays 10am - 2pm

The Saturday farm pick-up is hosted in Three Swallow's barn on Nelson Road. Ann Piombino and the LACS Youth Farm Project  manage this historical farm adjacent to the Ithaca Waldorf School.  Students from LACS and other youth groups in the area such as South Side and the Youth Employment Service grow our CSA U-Pick garden and grow an additional garden for their own use.  Much of the produce they grow will funnel directly into the LACS lunch program, nourishing the student body. We at the Full Plate will work closely with the students and their leading teacher, Dan Flerlage, to make sure that this is a productive experience for all of us, including our members.
