Poultry & Egg Shares

June through November Feisty Acres offers poultry and egg shares to its CSA members. CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture" and fosters a direct relationship between the eater and the farmer. When you become a member of our CSA, you purchase a "share" of poultry and eggs before the harvest season begins. There are many advantages to participating in a CSA program: eat ultra fresh poultry and eggs full of vitamins and flavor; exposure to new ingredients and ways of cooking; opportunities or tour and visit the farm; and develop a meaningful connection between your food and the farmers who raise it. All members of the farm's CSA receive 10% off any poultry, eggs, or merchandise purchases outside of their regular share. You may choose to pick up your share in Southold or Wednesdays at the Union Square Greenmarket or Saturdays at the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket.
