We are a Black owned, multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-racial sustainable family farm.
In 2017, a family decided to grow their own food and flowers, poultry and eggs by stewarding land that historically belonged to the Native American Cayuga Nation. In reflecting and honoring the life, work, and farming principles of our ancestors we created a Black-owned, family-operated farm in upstate New York.
Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Shares
Our Community Supported Agriculture share is EXACTLY that – we share the produce from the land with our Community. When you sign up for a CSA share, you’ll receive 24 weeks of fresh produce! As our farming season progresses, we offer a variety of organically produced items to our customers.
ALL OUR 2023 prices remain the same in 2024! Payment options available.
Support your Local Farmer at Market
Our food is organically produced and is reflective of the care and love that we have for community. We welcome you to be part of our venture – individuals, restaurants, food hubs and food stores can easily access the weekly produce in the quantities you need from us at the local Farmer’s market.
We also have limited CSA Shares for low income families, single parent, elderly and BIPOC households available – contact us for details at ft.baptist.farm@gmail.com
