- Porter Farms is a highly-diversified farm; we grow grain crops for an organic livestock feedmill in Penn Yan, as well as vegetables that we market through our CSA and, are sold at local stores such as Lori's Natural Foods and The Abundance Co-op, in Rochester; The Lexington Coop, and the Feel-Rite stores on Maple Rd and Transit Rd. in Buffalo. This combination of CSA and local stores is a great combination for keeping local, fresh produce in the area. Those larger supermarkets direct all their produce through the warehouses in Ohio or Pennsylvania before trucking it back here to sell. Our CSA vegetables are distributed the day after they are picked!!! We also sell storage cabbage and onions to Whole Foods which goes to Boston and Manhattan. Rotating all these different crops is a key ingredient in making us successful with our organic practices. As always we will be looking at ways to improve our growing methods, in order to provide you with produce of the best possible quality.	+ Porter Farms is a highly-diversified farm; they grow grain crops for an organic livestock feedmill in Penn Yan, as well as vegetables that are sold at local stores such as Lori's Natural Foods and The Abundance Co-op, in Rochester; The Lexington Coop, and the Feel-Rite stores on Maple Rd and Transit Rd. in Buffalo.

- Please keep in mind that the weather plays a huge role in farming. Our goal is to plant a wide variety, and volume, because of our wholesale accounts, of vegetables so if the weather conditions aren't right for some, others may thrive. - - '''["Community Supported Agriculture"] (CSA) Information:''' - - The Community-Supported Agriculture Project started with 100 members in 1996, and now have over 500 member families from Genesee, Erie, Niagara, Orleans, Monroe, Ontario, Livingston, and Wyoming counties. - - It is important to remember the meaning of "Community Supported Agriculture" as it relates to the mission of our program here at Porter Farms. CSA members make a commitment to support the farm throughout the season, and assume the costs, risks, and bounty of growing food along with the farmers. Members help pay for seeds, compost, irrigation supplies, equipment maintenance, fuel, labor, etc. In return, the farm provides, to the best of its ability, fresh, healthy, organically grown produce throughout the growing season. - - CSA keeps local famers connected with local consumers. Remember, food in the U.S. travels an average of 1,300 miles to get to your dinner table! Your membership in our CSA represents over twenty weeks of fresh, local produce that is a viable alternative to this "long distance" relationship most of us have with our food. - - The 2010 price schedule for Porter Farm's CSA is as follows: - - $320 If you are picking up your produce at the farm from Buffalo or the local area - - $350 If you are getting your produce delivered to sites in the Rochester area. -	+ Their ["Community Supported Agriculture"] program started with 100 members in 1996 and grew to over 500 members yearly. 2023 was the final year that Porter Farms offered their CSA, citing cost increases making the program unsustainable.

	+ ------ + ''2008-07-08 15:01:38'' [[nbsp]] We have a share this year with Porter Farms. They have pickup locations all over Monroe county and our pickup location is very close to our home, which is convenient. So far we have had a fantastic experience with Porter Farms. I look forward to signing up with them next season as well. It's great to get organic produce straight from the farm. I also enjoy the surprises involved with having a CSA share, since you never know what may show up in your bag! --["Users/KimBee"]
