The Red Jacket Orchard Fruit CSA is dedicated to providing New York City residents with high quality fruit that is straight from our orchards in Geneva, New York. Unlike other fruit CSAs that exist in New York City, members of the Red Jacket Orchard Fruit CSA do not have to be members of a vegetable CSA. This is not an additional product that is added onto your vegetable share! You will receive your week’s worth of fruit and juice, while fostering a relationship with your community and your fruit farmers. To join the CSA, see our Membership Sign Up page.
WINTER CSA
During the winter season, we grow 40 varieties of apples. The winter CSA will feature our heirloom varieties, freshly pressed juices, and pantry items such as jams, apple sauce, apple butter, and apple syrup.
