Escaping New York: Have You Visited Your CSA Farm?

It's easy to forget that the CSA share you pick up every week in the city comes from a rural, grassy, no-taxis-in-sight farm. In some cases, it's just an hour or two away...

Farms in upstate New York, Long Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey that deliver to New York City welcome visitors. You can show up and meet the farmers, help out for a day, pick your own produce, or take a tour. The photos above are from the Golden Earthworm Organic Farm in Jamesport, NY, which hosts a CSA tour day.

Talk to the site coordinators at your CSA pickup and ask about visiting the farm — or check out Just Food's CSA page for a listing of farms in the area.

We visited our CSA farm, Marin Sun Farms, earlier this year:

I would love to, but I've had to work every day that they've had a u-pick day or an open house.

Interestingly enough, I suppose I"ll get to see it on the television this fall. They wrote in their weekly newsletter that Friday Night Lights had just been filming at their farm.

Those sheep are adorable. What kind are they?
